besides that its like 4.10 compaired to 3.99 gear ratio
and bigger rotors,bigger pads, etc... its better in a quite a few ways when compaired to the GSL rear end
I get it.

Hey DAN and code blue, what kind of gas milage do you guys get with those superchargers?

I allready get shitty milage with my mods (see sig), and I am really starting to crave for some boost.

Im really not sure. My car likes the premium gas about every other day if I drive it a lot. I think I can get about 200 miles to a tank if its mainly freeway...not on the freeway probably 175 or so....

Guess i should see sometime what I really get....will let you know when I do

Dan gets better than me I believe

hmm yeah, that 150 is with me constantly mashing on the throttle.

Do you guys have the supercharger kits for webers? Have you tried it with both? Any preferece with weber or holley?

Also whats your overall impressions of the supercharger kit for the stock second gen rx7? I've seen the pics on your website, and they look very promising.

And finally what kind of tranny are you guys running with the superchargers? I'd imagine you'd want a turbo tranny with the additional torque from the supercharger.

Bone *** turd stock 12a with RB street port full exhaust

But I'm in the process of saving up for a street ported 12a.

What do you guys think about the Holley street port setup RB is offering? I'm not much for tuning the carbs all the time, so if someone knows a cheaper, but very streetable dual carb setup, please let me know.

Yes we do have S\C kits foe weber carbs Some of my clints are useing weber and tha love them over holley me I use a 390 rejeted holley carb and the only thing I dont like is the hard right turn when it runs out of fuel BUT I guess that is a normal problem where a weber wont do that.
