Alpha Supercharger Initial Impressions/Review

I love also the T-Shirt. great write up.

Alright folks..got some sad news.. was heading home from work this evening and hit 2nd gear a bit too hard hitting the rev limiter and poof... pulled over and popped the hood. oil on left side of engine and for some reason the 2 bar sensor popped off. At any rate going forward. What do you guys suggest for a replacement engine? ddm built engine? thanks!

oh shot out to @TheRock for dropping what he was doing and traveling from Winchester reaching me before the tow truck driver got there! You rock, dude!

Super Charger I hope it will not brake the bank.

Ouch!

So sorry to her that - I have DDM engine and I have to say it takes every bit of punishment I give it.
Dave and his crew are top notch

Give @Jeff@DDMWorks a call

yes sir..as soon as possible! @Jeff@DDMWorks

I have a question to the crew @MACAWS @TheRock and all, If I would get my new supercharger from DDM Works in time is there any interest to install it @ Mitch's??? If not I have to wait for the POWER.

@mytoy

That is more that just a few hour install - plus you need to send your ECU to be tuned or you can't drive it.
Your drive home is pretty long to make with an untested install - I wouldn't recommend it.

This is the worst! And ultimately leads to questions.... What happened? Was it just that? High revs? I've gotten in the red once or twice but have yet to blow engine (and not planning on going in the red intentionally)...

But minds will now wonder... You know, elephant... Brand? Install? The debate of so superchargers aren't that much safer than turbos?

Sorry for bringing it up this way, but damn... That really sucks @jaytee! Please help deciding and contemplating forced induction brothers out...

yes, cannot forget @lrobbi. thanks for the offer, bro! You guys rock!

well, it all happened so fast lol..i did hit redline in 2nd gear and poof..smoke and engine off. that was it.

My understanding is it comes with a new ECM, but to the same time I don't want to take any party time away. I can wait and hope I have it installed before Margie Vally.

I am SO SAD AND ACTUALLY bothered by this. I hate to see this happen to anyone. @jaytee brother if you need to use my trailer to take your SS to @Dave@DDMWorks .. my trailer is yours... let's get you back up and running strong!! If I can work out my schedule I will take it to DDM - but I know my job hrs are a little hectic.. but please stay in contact- must get you whole again.

PMD you @mytoy give me a call.

wow, thanks @lrobbi. I will give ddmworks a call tomorrow if they are open to get the details on the built engine purchase. I really appreciate you offering your trailer and I will certainly take you up on that offer once I figure out when I can take it down there. Much oblige, sir! You guys are too generous!

Have you talked to Alpha @jaytee? Aren't they doing built engines now too?

Just stirring the pot...
