Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the forum but wanted to give my $.02 on my paxton supercharger. I ordered the Beefcake special from terry and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to boost their car. The kit came with the supercharger itself, 1050cc ID injectors, JLT intake, Maxflow BOV, Vortech BAP, Lund ngauge with a lund remote tune and new spark plugs. It only took a few weeks for the kit to get to me from the time I ordered it. When I opened the box it was like I was a little kid on christmas again. Everything was packaged great and the fit and finish was excellent. The install is pretty straight forward and the instructions are excellent. I ran into a few issues on the install but it was all just me being an idiot and making stupid mistakes (Make sure all your coolant hoses are properly secure). I did the install over a few days by myself and would say that its possible to do by yourself with little mechanical knowledge.
Once the install was done, I loaded the tune and fired her up. The base tune from lund was great and within about a day I got the go ahead to hit boost. Im still data logging right now to get it down but it has been nothing but a pleasure to work with Jon.
She moves like no other now. Im still on stock tires and they'll spin all the way through 4th gear no problem. I'm just about to order some new wheels and tires so I can actually put the power down now. The upgraded BOV that I got sounds amazing. I was skeptical when listening to youtube videos when deciding if I wanted it or not but none of them do it justice.
Overall I highly recommend the Paxton kit to anyone looking to go the FI route. I can upload a video of the car and supercharger if theres any interest.
