supercharged PRHT
I recently purchased the supercharger kit for my 2011 PRHT from Flyin' Miata. It arrived 3 days after placing the order. The kit was very complete. Installation was performed by Larry Carpenter of Carpenter Motor Sports, Ogden, Utah. Carpenter Motor Sports is an old time, do business on a handshake type shop. Great people, highly recommended. The car was fun to drive before but it is now a real pleasure. The supercharger is very streetable, especially considering the otherwise stock set up. The torque is noticeable within the mid RPM ranges of ever gear. It does not offer “neck snapping” acceleration but this is a daily driver with stock internals running minimal boost. It has plenty of power to climb the hills in Utah, pass anything on the freeway except for big motor cars but will give them a scare. It now reaches freeway speeds on even the shortest of on ramps. Speed limit in Utah is 80 on the freeway. I often drive it from Salt Lake City to St. George, about 300 miles. There are several grade that increase over 2000 feet in elevation and the car never skips a beat. On a recent trip, a Hummer passed me a couple of times, moved over then slowed down. When he pulled alongside the third time, I just stepped on the gas and went 80 to 105 in little more than a heartbeat. Must have been a shock because I never saw him again. Great product. Very glad I made the choice. Brakes are next when the budget allows.
