Installation Instructions
B
efore beginning this installation, please
read through this entire instruction book-
let and the Street Supercharger System
Owner's Manual which includes the Automotive
Limited Warranties Program and the Warranty
Registration form.
Paxton supercharger systems are performance
improving devices. In most cases, increases in
torque of 30-35% and horsepower of 35-45% can
be expected with the boost levels specified by
Paxton Automotive. This product is intended for
use on healthy, well maintained engines.
Installation on a worn-out or damaged engine is
not recommended and may result in failure of the
engine as well as the supercharger. Paxton
Automotive is not responsible for engine damage.
Installation on new vehicles will not harm or
adversely affect the break-in period so long as fac-
tory break-in procedures are followed.
For best performance and continued durability,
please take note of the following key points:
1. Use only premium grade fuel 91 octane or
higher (R+M/2).
2. The engine must have stock compression
ratio.
3. If the engine has been modified in any way,
check with Paxton prior to using this prod-
uct.
4. Always listen for any sign of detonation
(pinging) and discontinue hard use (no
boost) until problem is resolved.
5. Perform an oil and filter change upon com-
pletion of this installation and prior to test
driving your vehicle. Thereafter, always use a
high grade SF rated engine oil or a high
quality synthetic, and change the oil and fil-
ter every 3,000 miles or less. Never attempt
to extend the oil change interval beyond
3,000 miles, regardless of oil manufactur-
er's claims as potential damage to the
supercharger may result.
6. Before beginning installation, replace all
spark plugs that are older than 1 year or
20,000 miles with original heat range plugs
as specified by the manufacturer and reset
timing to factory specifications (follow the
procedures indicated within the factory
repair manual and/or as indicated on the fac-
tory underhood emissions tag). Do not use
