I ws thinking something this simple would work. Glad to hear it does, and it should save a good chunk of time not having to remove the darn thing!

Notice any difference in performance, sound or anything else?

You hear the supercharger a wee bit earlier, hard to tell if I gained anything performance wise.

Same way I did mine. I think it added HP and I know it got rid of the herky-jerkys. The whine of the SC is way more pronounced also.

I did mine that way also. The only thig I would caution about is if your hole saw has a drill bit type of guide like mine did. I came awfully close to drilling through my protective license plate. But, it is definitely a quick and inexpensive mod.
