OK, thanks to this forum, we have located a complete Carroll S/C system, with gaseous injection, that according to CARB is smog legal. I am to pick up the unit on Monday. I am going to have the turbine freshened up prior to install. The car has 58K mi. with a 700R4. Options of note (relative to the power train) include G92 (performance rear axle) and KC-4 (engine oil cooler).
The car has received regular service and burned Chevron or Union 76 premium all its life.
When installing the system, what (if any) other work should I have done to ensure longevity of operation? A new, high flow, water pump was just installed this year.

I am also thinking about going this route, and am building the original engine with forged parts (pistons & rods). I would replace the tranny oil and filter. That way you start out bright red. Look for any significant change to brown or smelling burnt. Having been through 5 700r4's, I know its going to melt sooner or later. The 3rd gear , 4th gear clutches will fry first if the stock convertor vanes don't bend or break off. I would be very interested to follow your progress on the install. Apparently you need an MSD box to lower your timing to avoid knock and detonation, sol I have read on Carrols webpage. Goodluck
