did you just by the ss m90 kit and the m90 supercharger. zzp list other stuff you need but what all do you really need to do, just the kit and supercharger.

If you review the link I posted, ZZP explains in detail everything you need to complete the kit. Basically, your swapping the fuel rails, lower intake, upper intake, coil bracket, and some small things.

my rails are flipped to avoid that boost bypass problem. looks good though, hope you have fun with it. i have, just want to get my tune right next.
I actually tried running my rails like yours, but the hood wouldn't close- the regulator stuck up too high!

I know, I saw those too but figured that Regals/Grand Prixs had more hood clearance or something.

I'm glad I listed to you guys and bought HP Tuners (actually, I listened to my SSEi friend who kept nagging me about it). That canned ZZP tune pretty much totally sucks.

Car hauls *** now! What a BIG difference.

Have fun in the tuning world.

I'll be jumping into it later when I have the time / money to dump into the tuner :P

For now I just have a buddy doing mine for $75

Alot? I haven't dyno'd it (probably never will) and haven't had it to a drag strip yet either- still tuning some of the bugs out of it. As it sits right now, it feels like a ~14.5 car based on the butt-dyno- it's a very big difference from what it was like stock.

It's roughly a ~30-35 WHP gain.
