congrats, you definitely have a bad ass challenger now. When you get some miles on the car try and give a full review of what you think of it, also through up a video if you can

Alot has gone on in the past 2 weeks. First off I will say it looks and sounds great, but it went downhill from there. First off, this thing vents alot of oil mist from the supercharger vent. Enough to leave a small quater size puddle whenever the car sits after running.
Then the intercooler inside the blower was leaking coolant into the blower.
I pulled the blower off, and it was a mess. Techco sent me another blower last week.
I had to find some oil for it because it was shipped upside down and all the oil leaked out in shipping. Got it all installed, it runs fine but still vents oil out of the vent.
I am just counting on the fact that once the oil reachs a certain level it will stop venting.
I am monitoring the intercooler coolant level because now I am nervous that it will start leaking again.
I would like to see a new pressure venting set up for the supercharger using a type of catch can. I also think that there needs to be a pressure venting setup put on the intercooler. I just cannot help but wonder if the intercooler coolant is getting hot and it cannot expand because it is a closed system.

Wow that really sucks. Sounds like i will definitely be waiting for Whipple to come out with a kit or maybe go with a procharger or vortech kit.

I have it up and running now, I had to redesign the supercharger vent because it just kept misting oil out of the vent. Even with the new vent they sent me. Now its all good.
I really love it, it sounds great and looks even better. I just wish the weather would hold up for awhile so I could get it out and put some miles on it.
Overall, I feel it is a great product that just was not ready for the market yet. I think I had every bug with my kit. I do have a tensioner bracket issue still, nothing major its just annoying. They say they designed a new bracket now. I called them yesterday, but it just sounds to me that they are sick of my problems and were not very helpful, so I will just live with it for now.
I may try another brand later, like a procharger, once they have all the bugs worked out of course.

I'm really considering getting an SC setup. Perhaps after the hot AZ summer is over.

Do it, you will love the boost. I would not worry about the summer heat at all. I have never had a problem with heat in any of the vehicles I have supercharged. Just put in a 180 Tstat, and modify your fan settings with the Predator.
Mine runs cooler now than it did before the supercharger. With the intercooler in the manifold, I can drive for a hour, then open the hood and lay my hand on the intake and its only luke warm.
