does anyone know huntley racing's email address.the email on their website isn't working,everytime i try to email them,i get an undelivered email back to me.the reason why im asking this is because i want to know how much their superchargers go for.their stage 2 SC puts out about 270hp,now thats pretty impressive compared to Speed Force RAcing's SC.Also Neal Wright asked me if i was interested in buying his SC for $2k,about 60hp improvement.i dunno what stage it is?so....hmm.need your guys opinion.

Neals SC kit is the stage two, it is the protype kit that huntley had installed on his race car. We have listed it for sale a couple times and had a buyer, but he could not manage to get the funds. Its going for 2K complete with the acception of the intercooler, the pipes do come with it.

Its in great working order, we are going with a turbo and thats why its being sold.

Take Care!

Sorry about the e-mail, we are switching servers and things are a bit messed up. The SC that was on Neal's car was a one-off. It has no direct connection to the production kits we make. It had a different manifold, runners, supercharger, pulleys, rollers, electronics, harness, tuning etc... As mentioned it is being offered incomplete without intercooler or electronics. Unlike the production kits, there is no warrantee on these parts from Huntley Racing or any tech support offered due to their one-off nature, incomplete components, and difference in installed application. Good luck.

"I'd love to lose that lag... "

The lag is part of the chip-mapping, heh, heh... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

All i have is putter!!!!!!

I can't wait to get a new car... someday. My wife actually said that when we move in a year that I can buy a turbo. Anyone plan on selling in about a year?

EDIT: not that I have to ask her like she is my mother or something, but that is sort of the way it seems now that I think about it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I just don't think supercharging a 951 with 8:1 compression is the right way to go. As such we will not be making such an application. Sorry.

Of course, you know your own business best. Thanks for the reply.

However, I question the basis for the decision. I posit a SC replacement for the turbo, essentially swapping out one type of compressor for another, generating similar levels of boost-- which seems to work just fine with 8:1. The benefit of a SC over a turbo is no lag-while-spooling. A roots type blower would generate useable boost much sooner than the ~3000 rpms the turbos seem to require. But the stock intercooler, boost controller, chip mapping, etc., could be used as is.

Seems to me like there would be a market. But again, you know your business best.

cheers

I see your point but the problem is that the size of Roots style blower capable of making that kind of boost reliably would be too large to fit in the confines of the stock engine bay. Plus to get the same power as a turbo with the SC you would have to run more boost since the efficiency is less. With a higher compression motor you can make good power with lower boost levels more appropriate to the size blowers we can fit in there. Good luck.
