I'm supposed to be.. someone has remote mounted an M90 supercharger and FMIC'd it.

why? the 45 has an intake tube right? you just run an intercooler before that, just like the 62 setup that i used to run.....i really don't see it being that hard.......

edit, i just looked at some pics of your setup, HOLY SHIT!!! it would be so easy to intercool your setup vs the 62, just because of where the intake tube is, MAN!!! so easy, seriously, i guarantee, i could do it for less than $500.......

The MP45 is built right into the manifold... the piping you see there is my air intake piping, which is before the supercharger, not an outlet.

I planned on making an FMIC capable one.. I have an MP62, an intake manifold flange, as well as an "MP45 hacked off" manifold where I could weld up an intake plenum that piping from an intercooler could strap to.

screw air to air, you need to concentrate on air-to-water, they are much more effecient.....

I've got a carbon fiber coolant reservoir now though, and the new engine goes in next week, so it'll be a lot cleaner, will get some real shots when it's all detailed. I'm more interested in the track times next week.

Yep I'll be making a sweet video of the runs along with the burnouts.
This year, mid 13s, 250HP.
Next year, 12s, 350HP. Possibly before ASS if all goes well...

i'll think you will find it a lot harder to get into the 12s than you think, meth injection really doesn't help that much, and you better be looking into some DRs and some kind of stiffer suspension for lauching, or some spring pucks just for the track........

I figured you'd say something like that. I heard about your experiences with it meth on GAGT. It does a lot on this setup, even though it didn't work out well for you. Meth is just to chill things out and allow for a lot more expandability with tuning. Remember, I don't have a physical intercooler.
My tires are fine. BFGoodrich KDWs are nice.
Meth is not, whatsoever, what will "get me into the 12s" as you for some reason think. You'll see what happens.

KDWs may be nice, but a set of 15s with wrinkle-wall M/Ts are where it's at for the track.

i thought it worked pretty well, just that an actual liquid to air intercooler was a better option after while.....and you better beef the trans up anyways....

KDW's are alright, but they're still street tires. You'll want drag radials (at least) to get decent traction.
In the same vain, I know I'll never run as fast as my setup is capable of, since I will be doing it on street tires. Very sticky street tires (Dunlop Dirrezza Sport Z1 Star Specs) - but still street tires.
The pictures are very nice though, Chris.
