Any hope for a supercharger?
Been looking around and nothing but empty promises that I've seen. Is there a legitimate company testing or building a supercharger?

Nothing certain at this point. There is a possibility the one for the Caddy CTS will work, but no one has volunteered to try it. You want to be the test mule? If it works and with your gears you want be worring about stock R/Ts that's for sure.

Lol I heard that D3 supercharger is nothing but trouble at an expensive price.

LOL, really? Cause from what I actually know they only had it on two cars, both controlled by D3. Not a single problem with either one of them. You might want to get your facts straight before typing next time!

Sooner or later, it's bound to happen, right? I think the V6 Mustang already has one? I don't know if it's the direct injection, or if people think the V6 crowd isn't interested in more power, or what?? You can bet if our DI engine was a V8, there'd already be many superchargers on the market. It would be nice if we at least had a solid answer and timeline from someone, but all I've really heard up til now are rumors/speculation/etc:(

I think the trouble he was talking about was the apparent run around. I don't think he meant the product didn't work.
