This maybe a dumb question, but after you buy an s/c don't you need to up your fuel system (Fuel mgmt, injectors, etc.)

no unless u want to mod the s/c for more power then u don't need to. the s/c comes with bigger injectors and a remap of the stock ecu already.

you're charged more because it's probably the 1st time that dealer installs supercharger. You're essentially paying for the computer (about $300) to flash the ECU. Hehehe...all the other guys coming after shouldn't have to pay that much. Typically less than $500.

actually they did quite a few already. i know they did moriorty's for sure. so idk why the install was so high then. i wouldn't have let them install if they have never done one before.

^^ you might have the tamper proof bolt. If it's not the tamper proof bolt and you need to have tamper proof cap, Make sure the dealer take note that the tech never put on the cap and If it has the tamper proof cap they might of sold you one of the older models. I hope it's not the older models with the low price because the older models had a few problems. Well anyway have fun with your new toy and drive safe.

Ah good for you!
i payed a little more for my supercharger ($2300), but i payed a good bit less on the install ($560) and the dealer also ate the cost of an oil change and a complete coolant flush and refill.

but i have the cap, you should deffinaltly get that sorted out.
