The last few weeks I have also been thinking about putting a Supercharger on my ute, But I must say I am a little skittish. Because the last thing I want is a ltr/100 sitting a 14-16ltr/100 on the highway as I drive from Gold coast to Brissy a lot... I would also like to know what it is like on the track, would you notic the extra weight over the front...
But I must admit, the more I think about it the more I want it.....

There may be a few outlets bringing out a TT kit for the Boss engines soon, heaps of power with great fuel economy retained

Sounds like I should hold out for a while. TT BOSS sounds good

Matt from G & D has the 550+rwkw TT Monaro, and got I think 11-12lt/100km from Canberra to melbourne from the summernats, quite good for such a high powered car

Although those mid mounted s/c kits like jeff has got on his DJR would be great too

Jabba.
The ltr/100 stays the same with these things when cruizing the highway.
I drove my ute back from melbourne after my tune, with a KTM on the back, and managed 11.1 ltr/100. You got to remember, these blowers are not working when not under load. If you don't plant the foot, you wouldn't even know your car has one on there!

Regards

AGRO.

hmmm, I had a chemical imbalance in my brain for a while where I considered to trade the 6 for a 8 after being around pirtekgirl's cars a lot. Alan, that comment just made me hungry to finish my mod on the 6. Ill have to practice to race and use my indicators to overtake.

This time ill have the music pumping to help drain out the sonic BOOM! :dr_Evil:
