My feelings were that MB is under way to much pressure to prove his BBSC system to the masses. His health was obviously suffering and he has not completely healed from his accident injuries. (Broken ribs, etc.) The system is a clean install. It still has software bugs which are being worked on by a tuner. It is still a high rpm supercharger really coming in at near 5k. The new ecu seems to give slight boost that is progressive from near 3k. At 6k hold on. I have accidentally slammed the rev limiter in 3rd gear several times this weekend. It revs very fast at high rpm when the power is really pushing. I talked to Andie Lin and may now have to opt for a shift warning to help me prevent being stupid! It's scary fast at top end and makes me aware that I am a sucky driver... Back on topic. The smaller pulley, blowoff valve change and different software is due in 4-6 weeks which will be sent to us at no charge. Also he is working on a easy button push oil cap to make that easier. It really isnt a big problem but your coolant tank needs to be cooled down before you attempt to open the oil fill. It is mounted right in front of the oil cap. Greg and myself both experienced a problem when you hit the rev limiter hard. Engine trouble light (and with mine TCS light) comes on and the engine runs poorly or stalls. You have to shut the ignition off and reset the engine light by pulling the clock fuse. (You can shut the ignition off while still rolling and restart the car and it will run fine. TCS light resets but engine light stays on till you pull fuse.) I realize this is a work in progress and I also have to change my driving style. The 3.2 liters have been giving more trouble on the software programs and are not as refined as the 3.0 programs. Drive by wire cars also have more need of refinement which is being addressed. I have put 700 miles on the car since Tuesday night and all seems fine. 200 miles were on the Fl. NSXCA run which was more of a test. I have a 97 3.2 liter which was stock mechanically until this upgrade. Any questions I will try to answer. Please be sure to respect MB and all the work he is doing for our small group of owners. He would be a whole lot smarter dealing with the Civic crowd if it was all about making money! David H.

[QUOTE="Roadrunner, post: 42760, member: 4375"] My feelings were that MB is under way to much pressure to prove his BBSC system to the masses.
