Curious to see before and after dyno with the supercharger. I went the LSD route to start for better acceleration but my build is more track oriented.

It came with a tweaked MS45 software for the ECU, which I had to ship back to them to reprogram. It runs really smooth. I'm gonna dyno it soon, I just needa find a good place around here in Chicago.
