That's the only way that somebody is going to spend 1/3 of what the car costs for a supercharger that adds 50ponies.
on this car 50 horsepower will make a world of difference

Especially on mine, since I'm running on 84HP. Can't even imagine it!

But I live far, can't order, will not have support, prolly f$ck up on installation.

For those of you who are complaining about dollar per horsepower ratio maybe you should stick to Nitrous Oxide, that gives you the most bang for your buck.

Again, this kit is NOT for everyone, I understand that, I apologize to the seriously interested people that have to read through the emotional garbage.

For those of you who truly understand horsepower numbers, 50 horsepower on any ONE modification is HUGE!!

On a car that is equipped with 84 horsepower, if that is at the wheels, thats OVER a 50% gain, please tell me another form of modification for the dollar per horsepower that would achieve that kind of gain.


ONE LAST TIME, MY OFFER STILL STANDS, I WILL GIVE UP ONE WEEKEND TO HELP SOMEONE INSTALL THIS KIT LOCALLY, OR I WILL OUTRIGHT INSTALL IT FOR A NOMINAL CHARGE.

Unfortunately I have to report to my boss in 1 weeks time to see if this forum venture has gained any traction, if I do not receive any solid buyers before that time frame there is a good chance this offer will be canceled all together and any potential buyers will be looking back at retail prices to purchase....

Thank you for your interest,

Evan

Evan

You misunderstood me. I meant that the 50HP is fking great on my car! But since I live Lebanon I will have no customer support. I'm out.

That wasn't my point. I know it will make a big difference. I am talking dollar per HP....it is expensive for 50HP.
