It's all good!
I just got the thing on, give me some time. I will definitely add a boost gauge & a/f meter to see whats happening. Its running at a relatively low boost level so I'm not too concerned at this point.
btw-If a group of you want to pool some money together for my dyno time, then I have no problem bringing the car to one!
But the best thing about getting this supercharger is that I finally started a thread which got over 800 views and spanned 3 pages. The only other thread was when I installed the chrome ring gauges.

I only have one question... SC are supposed to be torque (low end) boosters... Turbos are high end... Step on it and seriouslyu see if there is any low end power... if NOT... I have just decided NOT to get the SC!!!!!

Hello everybody ,For the record here are the mods required to install this supercharger kit to a CL (first gen)
1) The AC lines coming from and to the AC compressor must be carefully rerouted to accomodate the pulley for the SC.
2)The Power steering cooler line that runs below the battery box must rerouted to allow the battery box to seat properly.
3)The Battery box that comes with the SC kit must shortened to allow it to sit on the frame rail.
4)The coolant reservoir attachment on the battery box must be modified to allow the bottle to sit lower,the bottle must be rotated 180 degrees to clear the adjustmen point on the headlamp assembly.
5)You cannot attach the Fuel pressure regulator to the firewall as it is done in the Accord,instead attach it to the bracing below the cowling.
6)The hood must have a 6 inch section of one of the inside support beams removed to clear the Blower case.
Thyere are a number of other small items that have to be juggled to do the install as well but they are not serious in nature,these are the major points.
Someother issues are the fact that the fuel tank must be romoved from the car to install the high flow fuel pump.
There is a small control unit that must be installed in the interior of the car ,it modifies the signal from the map sensor getting access to the wiring is a bit tediousbut not too bad.
Overall nice kit ,decent power gains especially for a low boost setup.
Hope it clears a few things up.

i was reading in the accord v6 pages and there are a couple of people there with the SC in their cars. they both ran around 14.4. the SC didn't give as much hp/torque as i thought it would. it gave about 30-40hp if i remember correctly. i dont' remember the torque numbers though.
