Hey Flite,
Are you all good to go now? Any dyno #s?

Yeah I'm good now. I didn't really work on it any further than that this weekend (mother's day). I still need to do the FPR and the wiring. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it up tonight and dyno later this week.
Cheers,

BTW - I removed the check valve. I don't know if that's needed or not...my car seems to run fine without it.

Just touching bases to see how your installation is going. If you need any help, just drop us a line.

With that said... I'm going to disappoint some people here... but my install thread isn't going to happen. There are a few little details that weren't perfectly clear in the instruction, and a few things I made some minor changes to in the interest of longevity (a career in aviation tends to make people a little more anal than normal). I did take some pictures of those things and I'll post those up here soon. I also caught a few minor errors or omissions in the instructions that I can either post here or send in to SoS. I'll let Chris make that call. Everything was extremely minor. This has been the most organized kit and has had the best instructions of any turn key kit I've ever messed with. SoS has my full confidence. I absolutely recommend this kit to anybody who's in the supercharger market. The quality of the brackets, the retention of factory hardware, the almost complete lack of changing anything beyond the ability of returning to stock (literally 2 holes drilled in the radiator shroud and one cut radiator hose, otherwise nothing had to be cut), the completeness of the kit (I've never seen a kit that included loctite and anti-seize)... .literally everything was 100% top notch.
My hat's off to Chris and the boys at SoS.

I actually just got done and went for a quick drive. I haven't gotten on it hard yet. I'm going to try to get to the dyno in the next day or two, but the nearest one is about 1:15 from me. I am pretty amazed at how "stock-like" it drives when driven slowly. I also got on it up to about 6500 rpms just to sample the FVM thing. There's absolutely NO noticeable VTEC transition. The powerband is way smoother than stock. I'm very impressed so far. My last car was a 450+hp turbo VW that was an absolute beast. This doesn't have anywhere near that "HOLY SH*T!" factor. What this feels like is the power the car should have had from the factory. This is my second S2000 and I've always thought the chassis was good enough to make the engine feel underwhelming. That's gone now and it feels absolutely balanced. This is how an S2000 is supposed to feel.
