Hi Zamani,
The oil consumption problem is solved. No more clouds of smoke when running hard. What a pain in the @$$ that problem was, turned out to be a piston design, piston ring combination problem. Plus some other contributing factors like valve guides without the groves in them to keep the vavle seals in place.
Turns out it was all worth it though. We now have non interference 8.8:1 compression pistons that work!
Andrew: I can sell the do it yourself kit at any time but for the full kit I don't want to commit to any date. I am still trying to get the updated parts out to everyone who bought an early kit.

Supercharger, TIG welded Discharge and intake port, all brackets to attach the whole deal to the motor, pulleys, belt, tensioner and tensioner mount.
Getting the air from the 3 inch round discharge port to the throttle body will be your problem, so will getting air into the supercharger's 3 inch oval intake port.
If you plan on going with aftermarket injection, or an intercooler then this kit a pretty good deal.

Ran SuperVerde today with the big injectors and 5.5 pounds of boost. Dang it's quick! We figure the engine can handle 8 pounds very safely but since it's next trip is to California and they don't have 93 octane fuel we are not going to push it any higher for now.
It's trip to the east coast was with ULTRA LOW boost, like around 2 pounds because I couldn't get the big injectors in time. That does almost nothing for power. There is no good way to tweak L-Jet on the 3.0 to run any amount of boost with the stock injectors
My dad is overhauling the original 3.55 Verde Transaxle right now and then it's off to the west coast. I am hoping to dyno the car first.
