one more question. What is the real HP of the kits? The main page says stage 1 is 175 rwhp and stage 3 is 214 rwhp, yet on the 318 supercharger page it says the stage 1 kit has 169 rwhp and stage 3 has 219 rwhp. I'm starting to have some doubts.

*pats weezer on the back* Good job, keep up the good work, I'm proud of you. Feeling a little under-appreciated?

I was wondering how long it would take for you to say something.

But seriously, I think everyone trusts that you would be the most anal at this point about inspecting the supercharger kit. Have you talked to Joe about this yet?

If this kit works out for L8 and it is as good as stated I would be interested as well. I kind of switched from wanting power to wanting to know how to race/drive on the track. So I guess I would want an S/C eventually or a swap or whatever...after I can go as fast as I can in my car the way it is.

If L8 is happy with the kit, I would be interested around August.

I'm one of those guys who prefer to work the hard way i achiveing more HP. You know; stroker pistons, larger displacement, higher compression, head porting, etc. I used to do that in high school when I raced ( about 20 yrs ago) and appreciated the blood sweat and tears and staying up late to make the deadline for next dau qualifications. However, cars today are so complicated that a supercharger seems closer to my ideal to achieve more hp. Staying with the stock engine and enhancing it, rather tan swapping it.....not to offend the swappers out there.

looks like they fixed their website, so now where's the high res pics?

if you want a stage 3 for cheap, there's one on ebay.

I'm starting to wonder about this. There are like 6 people on this site that have shown interest in this kit, but he still hasn't posted up any more information. He's ignoring a major customer base here. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
