    I thought the Si trim was an S-trim upgrade and the SQ was just quieter?
    I guess the choice is if you want it more noticeable at idle---it is cool but never having one, not sure if it gets old.

    Does anyone who owns the S-Trim on a 5.0 car know about at which RPM the boost starts to kick in? Mine is a 95 GT with some Cobra engine parts.

    I know that the centrifugal superchargers are not as instantaneous as the roots-style blowers but does anyone know how early the S-Trim does start to kick in?

    Depends on the pulley combination. I "see" boost if I want to at 2000. I also "see" 14psi up around 52-5300.

    Depends on what impeller is in the head unit you have.

    Wick, why the quotes around "see"?

    Ok, I picked up an S-Trim. Cannot wait to put it on.

    Still accumulating parts for the install.

    If I want to put two 2 1/6 gauges (Fuel Pressure and Boost) in a dash pod that replaces my clock, can anyone recommend some gauges? I didn't want to spend a ton on the gauges. Was looking for black face to match stock GT gauge color.
