Evolution Motorsports did mine last April. Minor adjustments made after installation to obtain optimim performance. Driven more than 6,000 hard miles so far and the power is unbelievable. Mine dyno'd at almost 400 hp at the wheels and 290 torque at the wheels. The adjustments made since the dyno have only increased the power. I may swing by EVOM laster next month during a western trip and have them dyno it again. Call Todd if your have specific questions.
I have the rev limit set at 6800 rpm which gives me just about 5 pounds of boost. I may have it increased to 7000 or 7200 which would give me about 5.5 - 6 pounds of boost. I want to be careful though since the stock engine already has 13.5:1 compression without the additional boost. I have no other mods to the car.
You have no time to think about shifting out of first when you get on it. It gets there so fast that ant hestitation will hit the rev limiter. I would do it again if I had another 996.
No inxcrease in engine heat and the after cooler keeps the intake air at about 20 degrees above ambient temps. No cool down period as with the turbos. The only thing I make sure of is that the engine is at 180 degrees before I get on it to make sure the charger is warmed up and lubed properly.

Did you already buy the clutch/flywheel/and supercharger? I'm seriously connsidering taking my car back to stock to make it more sellable and to generate a better return on the modifications. If you or anyone else is interested in the stuff, let me know.
PS. It's the Evo SC with the lightweight flywheel and stronger clutch. However, you'd never know the clutch wasn't stock by using it. Though, it does rev a LOT faster than a regular flywheeled car.

I like it a lot but I am selling the car and no one seems to be appreciating it the way it is. I'd probably just keep it if Evo had ever gotten around to getting it C.A.R.B. certified as they've been promising for very nearly a year (mine was installed a year and 4k miles ago - it's like #2 or #3). As it stands now, I can't register in CA without removing it temporarily. So, I figured I would see if someone would appreciate the car as it is. Nothing concrete flowed from those efforts and if I have to go to the trouble of temporarily removing it, I might as well just sell it.

Ben,
Let me know what you're asking for and where you're located, I may be interested in doing a swap at the shop. Where in CA are you?
BTW what year is your car?
