Reminds me of a quote by Sir Winston Churchill at a political rally: Woman: Mr Churchill sir, are you drunk?? Churchill: Yes Madam, and you are ugly, but I shall be sober in the morning! Matt (A mechanical Engineer)

Lol... that's pretty good.
Hopefully I'll be an auto. engineer within a couple years. Seems like becoming any type of engineer is pretty tough. Dangit... I was hoping this wouldn't require this much effort.

i think its funny how no matter what type of engineering you go into you still have to take every math class offered. |

I got a chance to take some pictures of the injectors on the car and the new harness connectors. There was no need to cut the wires. The metal electrical connectors inside of the plastic plugs are the same so we just popped the release latchymabobers and removed the old plasitc connectors and put on the new plastic connectors.

Ah, but do they make you take a dedicated course in differential equations AFTER you've completed 3 semesters of Calculus?

No, they prefer to not give you the Differential equation Course and base your fluid dynamics one heavily on the ideas involved anyway!!

Michael, I know that you haven't gotten around to dyno-tuning the stage 3 yet... But do you have any general ideas about where in the RPM band you are going to have the boost peak? Or the duration of the peak?
A question about the hardware, too... I've heard of a lot of supercharging systems being equipped with a bypass valve. This essentially leaves the engine running NA at times of low performance (i.e. idle). The bypass then closes when you step on the accelerator at a moderate or quick pace. Any plans to install one of these? Just curious! |

That bypass valve is kinda like a saftey mechanism which remains open if any detonation is detected in the engine... -Chike

We received a crate of superchargers from Whipple today. By the by we went with the Whipple 1600ax supercharger for our head unit for Stage III. This unit is highly efficient and will work very well both for the mid-boost planned for stock engines and high boost should it be used on an engine built to support it. With the 740cc injectors we've tuned the software for the Stage III package will be able to be used on engines built for high boost to yield very high output levels with only the change of the pulley.

Don't know if I should just email Michael but I'm sure that he's busy and someone else here can answer my questions for me.
Eventually, my (and everyone's) dream SVX would have a Stage III supercharger and a 6MT transmission to channel all that power. Realistically, the 6MT won't be affordable for years to come, if it ever gets "affordable" at all. Should I try to 5MT my SVX now, then get SIII, THEN eventually upgrade to a 6MT after the 5MT eats chunks, or should I just keep the autobox, get the SIII, then just do the 6MT from the start? Oh, and I doubt anyone else can answer this but I'll be visiting Pensacola FL February 5th but I can only get a week off from work. Is it concievable to install a SIII kit in 3-5 days?
