More than double the torque? Most gearboxs, clutches and diffs arent designed to cope with double the intended torque output. How do you prevent damage to them?

You dont. You just wait till it blows up, then replace it......

We run this through the 4 speed auto.
We fitted a 2.5 stage shift kit and a 3.45 LSD

i assume mixture 11.8:1 is compression ratio ? either that or its running really rich.

Might be Air:Fuel ratio

Air fuel ratio should be around 13:1 for n/a engine. Turbo engines run a little richer so they don't blow up

Magic have you got any picture of the kit in a car, also have you run it down the strip, if so what does it run

I like the look of CAPA'S Vortech kit for the the 3.6 190 looks neat,like to see MAGIC do the 190 engine on the sv6 with the auto,dont know why they chose the 175 engine instead of the 190,they have got great results so far.

That look different, my mates supercharger is mounted much lower than that, what kit is that?
