Awesome. I will be interested in seeing your kits for the 951. The one beef I have with the car now is the on/off nature of the power generated by the turbo. It would be cool if the SC fixed that. Boost starting at 2000 rpm instead of 3200 would be a real boon too.

Also, looks like the arms race with the NA guys is about to escalate...

~cheers~

Nope, the NA guys are just defecting to the forced induction side.

Do you have an estimated price on the S2 supercharger kit yet?

I guess since these work on N/A 944's, they should work on 924S's? Also, any chance a simple photo guide on installation along with before and after spec's will be available?

Thanks,

I bet they would work on a 924S. Man, 400 hp in something that light...and you can buy a 924S for 3K. Stand back and give me air...

Our kit can be adapted to all 944, 951 and 968's.The only difference between each kit will be the plumbing and some of the cars will require a custom intake manifold.

We havent dynoed our kits yet.We will be doing that very soon.

If you look at the pictures on their website and do a little digging online, it is fairly easy to figure out what unit they are using. Relative to the price I found online for the core, I think they are providing a reasonable deal.

The value of a kit is the engineering that goes into it, as well as the support after the sale. They also mentioned a three year warranty on the supercharger unit. Now that is SUPPORT.

If these kits haven't been dynoed yet how are they advertising how much power gain you will have? As for the three year warranty, is that through Speedforce or is that what the supercharger mfg. warranty is?

Booster, please bear with us, so far have we not delivered on our promise? Yes we have...we promissed the release of our kit by Christmas, and we did it. It Huntley Huntley Racing two years and so many months to finally get it done, and then they only rushed out the product because they knew we were going full steam on it. I still don't even see pictures of their kit, nada...

So, why would be post numbers now that might not represent the finshed kit? Give us a day or two, we'll postem...but we want them to be the right figures, not rushed , maxed out, engine straining numbers.

Lts say for example that we posted dyno runs that were not great numbers because we had too small a pully? Then you guys would be all over us about price for the bang etc etc...lets go the otherway...lets say we posted huge numbers at a big boost level...then you would be right back here posting emails about the boost levels being too high, and that we can't run that power reliably...soo, in short, we want to be damn sure this kit will deliver as promissed and be able to be driven hard all day long with no failures. Period :-)

Question

Is this intended to use stock software, aftermarket, or is a proprietary chip part of the package?

Dave,

The kit uses the stock computer and chips, although in the upper levels we supply a timing retard unit.

Andre,

sorry, we don't sell the Super Charger seperately from the kits, you have to start with at least the level one kit :-)

Matt,

Sorry, but no financing :-) We do take all credit cards, but maybe not "Diners Club", I'll check on that one.

Hope this helps you all!
