    I dont think the supercharger is suspect. Never had an issue till I put the headers on. JBA headers aren't flush all the way across the plate that mounts to the exhaust ports. The pipe inlets are slightly raised and if the gasket doesn't hit them just right or if they are not tightened down evenly they will leak. I am sure that is what I have going on.

    Sweet! I haven't been able to follow all the builds lately, so I didn't know what was in the works. I just figured you were after a cheap way to tune with the expanded tables.

    Great to see you joining the whine club!

    Welp since my f250 is in the body shop for an undetermined amount of time I'll need a decent tow vehicle for my other projects. Plus I could use more speed and noise in my daily.

    What did you go with again? I just ordered my 37’s so I’m sure whatever you got will compliment them nicely.

    Oh you meant you wouldn’t have enough gearing lol. And yes we will need to do your shock relocation at some point. But I’ve got a crazy busy schedule with this semester.
