Default Anyone regret supercharging your S?

I'm seriously considering the idea of FI for my S. It's obviously quite an investment. I've done plenty of thread reading on going FI and it seems like it's worth the $$.

I just want to hear from anyone that may have had any bad experiences with supercharging their S.

I'm leaning towards Comptech because of simple install, reliability, and reputation in the Honda community.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I guess I'm looking for problems such as detonation at higher rpms, or little things such as unusual vibrations, extra maintenance, etc...

I regret the fact that it wasn't done at the factory! Does that count?

I got the Comptech but the reason is that I'm a cheap bastard and it was the only one being offered at a cheap price second hand at the time. I paid $2500 for a used SC (no AC).

I will shortly be buying the aftercooler so if anyone knows where I can get one cheap.....

Actually the conversion rate is much better now. When I bought my SC our dollar was only worth about US65

I would have to agree with everyone. No regrets the best thing I could have bought for the car.
