^^thats what i did. it was 2986.00/shipped

 

congrtas!! I'll be boosted soon also

 

Why don't you just put some bolt on's on it and leave it NA?

Alot cheaper and you run very similar times.

 

I got it...got back from dropping it off at the dealership a couple hours ago.

 

Today is the big day, youll have to tell us how it drives later, but just go enjoy it for now.

 

lucky....i was supposed to get blown 2 weeks ago...now i gotta wait till the 30th....let us know how it goesss

 

I'm going to go pick it up in less than an hour. Can't wait to actually drive a S/C tC. I hope I won't be too dissappointed...

BTW, did any of you had an aftermarket intake on your car when you went in to get the S/C installed? I had the Injen Intake and they were going to charge me $80 to take off the Injen Intake? Is that crazy or what?

 

^^ that sounds about right

 

right about taking out the intake?

I got myself out of it though...i didn't get charged for that.

 

you have to be kidding me. They are taking a few tubes off and charging you $80? If you had the stock setup you would have had to take an air box off ....how does that justify the extra cost? .... Ive never seen anybody post that before.

 

Yep well they are. So if you have an aftermarket intake, take it out and put the OEM one back on before you take your car in. I got a cool salesperson that waived the charge for me.

Here is a short review after an hour of driving it back home:

So, I got the car back. I can definitely feel more power. But my car also seems heavier than before. It's probably the Supercharger adding the extra weight. You do hear the whistle of the Supercharger. I haven't floored the pedal yet cause I want to wait after 500 miles. But just going about half throttle, the car does jump. I imagine that after the ECU gets used to it's new power, it'll perform even better. Also the ECU does hold a gear longer before shifting to the next gear. I like that.

My engine bay is pretty dirty right now, so I'll clean it out soon and take some pics of the new Supercharger. I know that I am not getting as many horses to the wheels as a Manual would have but I guess that's the consequenses of getting the Auto in the first place.

All in all, I still can't judge the Supercharger yet because I haven't had time to play with it. I guess the tech people have just finished test driving the car when i got to the dealership to pick it up cause the engine was pretty hot. I made the mistake of keeping the gas full when I dropped off the car. They probably had some fun with my car because I got the car back with a little over 3/4 full.

I will do another review after a month or so to see if it was worth the money I invested. BTW, I spend $2,998 for the Charger and $800 for the install so total comes to $3798. I guess the price was okay.

Oh I did find a single screw in my engine bay. i don't know if it was needed anywhere, but I hope it won't screw anything up.

One more thing, my friend just bought his 2001 Honda Prelude 5sp w/Vtec today as well. It is only 57,000 miles and he got it for 14 grand. Everything is still stock. I don't think I have a chance beating the Prelude, but I can rely on my friend's lack of driving skills. He knows how to drive a stick but just not in a racing situation. I've had some experience, although I do own an Auto. shame on me...

 

Congrats man

 

So am I responsible for sending out the Warranty card to TRD? Cause I got the card with me. The new airbox is huge!

Oh! Gotta sell my INjen Intake now...whats a good asking price?

 

make sure the screw isnt for the air sensor thats attached to the air box

 

yo go back to the dealer and have them fill out that card and send it out for you...they are supposed to do it cause they have your RO# and information.

 

They drain your tank and fill it with premium gas. I got mine back with 1/4 tank. After dropping $4k you would think they can fill it full. However they did wash my car and clean up the inside.

 

Well if they did that then I just lost money. Cause I had my tank filled with Premium fuel to full before I dropped it off.

 

the dealer i went to put gas in but charged me for it. ha. i guess that was a nice thing to do...ha.

 

I sold mine for $100, but it had some scratches on it. But I would say $140 maybe If in good condition. With the warranty card, you're suposed to send it out, it is not effective untill it is sent to TRD.

 

I've filled it out but except for the Repair Order number. I will call them up and ask for it. Also I want my old heat shield back, will they give it back to me?

My Injen intake is in near perfect condition. No scratches, no nothing. Looks as if it is new.
