Same thing as you...customer service was incredible...NST has also been around for a while and have heard nothing but good things...also straight up for the fact of being different than everyone else.

Had some fun with a N/A 300z last night....consistent 4 cars ahead the whole time from 0-90 then he gave up and gave me the thumbs up

.
I messed around with my friend and his EVO last night...basically stock except for the HKS catback and he beat up on me pretty badly on the highway...keep in mind both runs were late at night on the highway with no cars in site( had a few friends that sped up ahead of us to make sure). I dont really like to street race either but its kind of hard being that the closest track is about 2.5 hours away

awesome to hear man. What about SRT-4s? Mustang GT's? Motor swapped hatches? Any other kills or close races?

naa bro...I dont really run much on the street...plus my car basically looks stock on the outside so nobody really messes with me...only one other run with a civic right when I first got the supercharger...wasnt even worth posting it up it was such a disgrace....I felt really really bad for him cause his girl was in the car with him....I can bet he didnt get any a$$ that night

Any other info on the pulley? What about butt dyno impressions? Can you hear the supercharger whine from inside of the car at idle?

Nothing really new on the pulley...still good to go....the car is definitely quicker with the pulley and the whine at idle is the same as it was without the pulley, you definitely hear it more under load though.

I just got it today in the mail...I held the pod up to the pillar and its way off...Theres gonna be a lot of work involved in making it fit but I dont care...I will get it done cause I dont want a 3 gauge pillar and nobody makes a single or even a dual.

Actually I think there is a dual gauge pod. Forgot who makes it, but you should look around some more, because I have seen them.

for the a-pillar? Never seen one yet. Really want just a single pod for the a-pillar so I can just get the boost gauge when i get the SC.

Yeah, I know. I was just putting it out there. CC 3 gauge pod for like 60 bucks sounds much better, but then you will spend alot more on 3 gauges as opposed to 1
