I had the chance recently to test drive some of the Powerworks superchargds Foci thay have built.

I drove a 2004 Compitition Orange SVT ZX5 and there Auto 2.0L Zetec ZX3.

I must say I was inpressed with the power there supercharger puts out. The fit and finish of the product was top notch and even there prototype unit on a 2.3L Duratec Sedan looked good.

The 2 cars I drove were not owned by the company, they were owned by individuals. The 04 SVT ZX5 owner happened to be one of the engineers for Powerworks. All he had for aftermarket parts besides the SC was a set of springs, not even differant dampers/shocks. In fact all the Powerworks cars were basicly stock with the exception of the SC of course.

All the guys I spoke with from Powerworks were plesent, knowledgable and willing to answer questions. I was even approched when I was walking through and lookign at there cars and display motors. That dosen't happen to me often at car shows and I was impressed.

If I had the money I would probably be in line to purchase one of there Superchargers. I wouldn't even mind driving to Michigan for them to install it if came to that.

We BOTH had a blast driving these.  What a shocker it would be to pop one into one of our cars and bring it to the track against some of these bad boy ricers.

They're jaws would drop!  It was fun!!! ;up

Ya. I quickley looked at there PDF install file and it looks pretty straight forward. I was jut saying I wouldn't mind going to them because they seemed to have the sh*t together. Also If I actually had the money for one of these($5000) I would most likely be able to come up with a couple hundred for the install.

Wanna buy the Sony sedan and aid me in getting on of these....??....:D:D;hysterical
