My impressions of the DASC on a stock M44 engine

[pred]

About 2 months ago I got the chance to install a NIB DASC kit into my 97, Active asp with 153K miles,
The install went OK, I had to replace the two plastic heater hose plastic bits that bolt to the block.
I did get a check engine code twice in the past week, BUT I have gotten them before for the front O2 sensor,
I just did a 315 mile highway drive using cruise control and I averaged 32 MPG with filling the tank before and after the drive....
Car is Peppy, I will say if I hang out between 4500 and 6500 the car really is quite spirited,
Car is bone stock, Stock exhaust, Tire size, ECT.
I will note that it is VERY quiet and if I didnt tell a passenger they would never know,
Aside from the whoosh and a small whistle as the bypass closes, You really have no idea that the super charger is there,
I will get a boost gauge on there in the next couple weeks just to see what is going on.
So aside from 12 hours installing the DASC I feel it was worth the effort and I expect to keep the car for a while and see if I can get a bit more power from it since its there now.
I now they dont make the kit any more,
SO this is a bit of a moot point,
If youre in the Phila area, Please feel free to PM me and Ide be happy to meet you somewhere close and go for a spin.

Ive been running this DASC for over 1500 miles so far and am running my 315 mile trip holding 75 MPH and still run 31-2 MPG,
Plus I did get the opportunity to play with a Honda S-2000 that was tastefully modded, A gentleman about my age, 45-50 was running with me thru some exit ramps and tight turns, I know those S-2000ds handle pretty stinkin' well,
AS we came out of the last 90* turn and merged onto an empty 3 lane highway at about 4am I pushed it and ran 2,3 and 4 to red line with him licking at my heels the whole time BUT I was pulling away the entire time, I ran it up to about 100 MPH and let off.
He caught up and gave me a wave and we both settled into 75 MPH cruising for the next 50 miles where he exited,
So this stock M44 with the DASC is pretty peppy as is,,,
