Ahhh Supercharger is a great thing. I miss mine. Like someone else said, when you first start it up you are going to feel a strange sensation in your pants

For all the swap ppl there are 6 speed swap parts for sale in the BM

Is the Emanage needed for the SC install? Or is it just a bonus?

Hope it works out well for ya. Wish i could get one right now.

It's necessary if you want more power. It also helps to keep your car in check, since the ECM is homo.

so how many lbs of boost you plan on running? I suggest starting with 3 and waiting until you get used to it until you bump it up to 6. 9 might be a bit much and requires a knowledgeable mechanic to tune it. And about the CL, maybe you should find a 6 speed CL for sale and sell yours to get into that CL. Don't let your lack of ability to drive stick stop you. I learned in a day and then it took me about a month to get really comfortable with it. It's so much fun learning, trust me.

honestly dont know how much yet. i might run the regular pulley at first and see how it is and then put the hbp in. im about to go on vacation back home to atlanta so the charger wont go on until mid to late june. the whole idea of trading my automatic for a 6-speed sounds good in theory but trust me its not worth all the BS i would have to go through with my girl about this. she already thinks i love the car more than her lol, im sure some of you guys on here have heard that before all i want to do now is finish this blower drop a BBK and then im done with this car so i can start saving for a house.
