The casting house who is making our intake manifold and some of the other components also makes aluminum heads for Ford, racing speed boats and numerous other forms of race vehicles. They do some amazing work and they're located in USA!

Also, we have some information on some of the stages that we will be offering for the VQ37:

The STILLEN supercharger kit will have 3 stages.

Stage 1) Tuner kit...All the hardware and equipment minus the fuel management. This kit should be ready in about two months or so. Look for it around the end of February beginning of March.

Stage 2) CARB legal kit. This kit will be 50 state legal, yes it won't have as much power as the other stages but it is street legal!!! More than likely this kit will be running around 6 psi. The release of this kit greatly revolves around the amount of time it takes CARB to grant us a test date and review our results. I can't give a solid ETA on this because it really is up to CARB.

Stage 3) Race kit...This will be a pre-tuned race kit that will not come with any warranty and will not be street legal but it will be a bolt in kit for the guys looking for a bit more power but don't want to bother with figuring out their own tuning. This kit will be developed along side the Tuner kit so look for it to be released around the beginning of March.

Do you have any rough ballpark cost figures for each kit?

What will likely be involved with going from the CARB legal option to the race option and will it be possible to go from race back to CARB legal?

I don't know right now what all will be involved in switching back and forth. It could be as simple as just changing the pulley and tune or it could be more complex than that. Ideally it would be as simple as swapping the pulley and tune though.

No idea on ballpark costs yet. I asked my engineer's if they had any idea and they just laughed at me and said it's still too early to tell. I know they have a goal price range in mind, but I don't know what that is and they won't tell me LOL.
