Default where can I get my supercharger rebuilt?

for $1100 I can get it rebuilt and ported for an extra 25 but wait a month for it. Any cheaper or sooner, $1100 isnt that bad esp considering porting the blower which then I will do a 2.5 pulley on it as well. Anyone have the same setup? Curious what it would do in 1/4 with say, Ported blower, 2.5 pulley and full exhaust, mid-high 12's? Its an extra 75hp

PSE do a rebuild for something like $800.
Jaguar - PSE Superchargers - Your source for remanufactured original equipment superchargers

You can also buy a brand new one for around £650 from Jaguar, I don't see any benefits from porting an Eaton, just more noise - In fact it can lead to loss of power, see the Kenne Bell info here...

Why is porting bad or loss of power? This seems more like KB wants to say this so they can advertise there product

Your best bet on the blower is to buy the Gen V from JgaXkr and add a 3lb upper. His will be cheaper/faster/better. It will take 20 minutes with a small grinder to get the GenV to fit, and lots more time to get the smaller pulley to fit, or I suggest you pay JgaXKR to mount the smaller pulley before he sends it to you. His has low miles and I'm sure he will give you a better price than the $1100.

Do you know what your car is running 1/4 mile now as a baseline and have you done a before dyno?

What generation on blowers and what are the differences? Why not a 2.5lb pulley?

Read/search the engines section, lots and lots of posts about this stuff there

2.5-3lb like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/150703474192...ht_2787wt_1163

Make sure it is steel, not aluminum for the upper for better belt grip, lower pulley material doesn't matter so much.

Anyone have pics of Jaguar M112 Ported and unported side by side? Also, any more reviews on them, according to SEAN B, he doesnt think ported will have a power gain.
