This is a "rebuilt" 94/95 SC by Floz, also known as 13ourlucky13. Also recognized by the "patriotic" border theme of his auctions.
Please notice the lack of epoxy coating on the rotors. That will DECREASE boost.

Because 95% of his buyers don't have a clue they're getting a shitty product. And they believe they're getting more than they are from his crazy claims.
BTW, I've contacted him via eBay.

Yeah, I contacted him, too:
He responded:
Billboost, how much boost did you lose when you lost just half of your rotor coating? More than a pound if I remember.

John, Yes the 94-95 rotors do come from the factory with a coating. This coating becomes coated with sticky carbon and brittle over time causing the supercharger to opperate less effeciantly. We remove the coating leaving a polished rotor. The loss in boost is minimal, only 1/2 - 1 pound of peak boost which the majority of drivers could cars less about. Additionally the clean rotors and casing along with the remachining of both the inlet and outlet results in improved effeciency over what came from the factory. So to answer your question a supercharger with the clean up and machining along with new coated rotors would be ideal for performance. For the everyday driver the improvements we make to the supercharger compensates for the removal of the coating leaving a happy customer. Thanks

I lost about 90% of the coating and noticed about a 2-3 lb difference. While the lb difference didn't seem great, the change in performance in torque off the line until about 50mph was incredibly poor.

This guy does not have a clue of the term "Volumetric Efficiency" How did he determined the loss??? From the gauge??? The are variations on the OEM boost gauge and the loss will be increased based on other modifications to the engine like exhaust.This buyer beware information should be relayed to the other Grand Prix and Buick GS sites and clubs.

If you dig through his old auctions, he hasn't taken a new pic of a SC in a really long time. I check his stuff out every once in a while, it is always the same pics.
