Congratulations on selecting the best performing and best backed automotive
supercharger available today... the Lysholm® Supercharger!
Before beginning this installation, please read through this entire instruction booklet and the Street
Supercharger System Owner’s Manual which includes the Automotive Limited Warranties Program
and the Warranty Registration form.
Lysholm supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque of
30‑35% and horsepower of 35‑45% can be expected with the boost levels specied by Lysholm. This product is intended for use on healthy, well maintained engines. Installation on a worn-out or damaged engine
is not recommended and may result in failure of the engine as well as the supercharger. Lysholm is not
responsible for engine damage.
Installation on new vehicles will not harm or adversely affect the break-in period so long as factory break-in
procedures are followed.
For best performance and continued durability, please take note of the following key
points:
1. Use only premium grade fuel 91 octane or higher (R+M/2).
2. The engine must have stock compression ratio.
3. If the engine has been modied in any way, check with Lysholm prior to using this product.
4. Always listen for any sign of detonation (pinging) and discontinue hard use (no boost) until problem
is resolved.
5. Before beginning installation, replace all spark plugs that are older than 1 year or 10,000 miles with
original heat range plugs as specied by the manufacturer and reset timing to factory specications
(follow the procedures indicated within the factory repair manual and/or as indicated on the factory
underhood emissions tag). Do not use platinum spark plugs unless they are original equipment.
Change spark plugs every at least 15,000 miles and spark plug wires at least every 50,000 miles.

IMPORTANT! To ensure trouble-free programming of your vehicle’s computer:
• Make sure the vehicle's battery is sufficiently charged.
• Turn off all accessories and close doors to prevent unnecessary drain on the battery.
• Locate “exterior” fuse panel and remove Qty 1 INFO, Qty 1 RADIO and Qty 1RADIO AMP labeled fuses. (If applicable)
• Do not attempt to program your vehicle while a battery charger is connected
• Improper battery voltage will result in failure of the programming process.
• Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the ignition during programming.
NOTE: • All vehicles equipped with On-star that have
aftermarket stereos will experience problems
with the ability to re-program the vehicle’s ECM.
