I `Mike, I think a SuperCharger is the way to go to get
the boost from idle to top end.
I would just suggest that you get everything else on
your Awesome Monte in Top Shape B-4 the install : )
Like Transmission, cooling systems, brakes, etc.
I would also dosearches on the Web, to see `if others have
done the install.
Wish you good luck, and we will be looking forward
to your future results.
Good Luck, `Space

well, I stumbled across that when on a grand am forum. heres what one of them had brought up after recommending not getting it:

As for why not to use Z-Spec (RSM), well that's simple. Their SC kit has problems with bearing failure, unneeded MAF removal and the PCM tune is complete BS. If you do get it, then be prepared to spend even more money to fix these problems.


I was curious if anyone had heard that about that company. Not only that, but, my BIG fear is space for it under the hood. Im trying to figure out what needs to be fabbed, and what needs to be relocated where and how! [&:]

The company is ****, don't buy from them... They changed the name because how bad (RSMs) rep got.
A guy on one of my other forums had major problems. Just do a top swap or SS kit.

A top swap kit is the way to go. Talk to ZZPerformance about their kit.

I found a good web site that can save a lot of headaches to wether a company on the web is good or not. http://www.resellerratings.com/

So i dont think that kit would work. or would it?
