One thing that might help... remove the plastic panel from under the front driver side so when you drop tools or bolts, they roll out.

Don't use the insulation displacement connectors that are supplied with the kit.

If you decide to use crimp connectors, get a good set of crimp pliers, the ones that ratchet. They're nice to have and you'll get reliable connections. Also, make sure all your crimps are secure by pulling on the wire pretty hard after you crimp it. If it stays in, great, if it pulls off in your hand, it wasn't in right. Get a couple boxes of connectors, in different sizes. That way, if you have to double wires up in a connector, you'll have the right size connector.

I didn't want to use solder connections because I wanted to be able to easily return the harness to stock. (for troubleshooting, if I ever need to) So, wherever a harness wire had to be cut, I put an insulated female connector on one side, and an insulated male connector on the other.... then just made the JRSC wires to mate to those. I can just pop the JRSC wires off and the original wire will plug right up to itself.

Be sure to read ahead in the instructions. They will tell you to install these bolts here, those bolts there, then they tell you to torque them all down. Then, they tell you they all needed to have loc tite on them.

I would strongly suggest you buy a Helm manual if you don't already have one. You WILL need it at some point.

Iranman has a web site about the supercharger, I plan to write some more of this stuff for him to post there. He has some good information there.

JRSC installed.... I like it! I talked about the wiring a little there too.

If you run into any problems, post it.
