This leads to the dwell time for weight transfer to be very short and thus not allowing the tires enough time to grab traction. 20” wheels don’t help either. You also forget this is a stock block and was pushing over 600ftlbs! 2600-5200 saw over 600ftlbs! No forced induction bring on power that quickly and that sustained.

I didn't forget anything. I know it's stock block because he said so. What I did was answer the question he asked several times. ""Where all y'all single turbos?" Tires, springs, widebody , ugly paint. All that matters none. Hell I have 16lb springs on HKS SPs. I don't know how much yet but I guarantee I make a **** ton of torque on C2 cams at 17psi at 10:1 and on E85. Ocala , sign up Mar 1. I was gonna pass because Matt won't go but if they bring a whipple challenge accepted. I'll have Seb step up the tuning and start getting ready. I even told Seb to stop me when he thinks I get close to where 800 should be.
Real **** talk is put up or ahut up.

Guys guys calm down. For those wondering we are still here. We have not been active on the forum for many reasons.

Bullitt is right we are insanely busy wrapping up POs for our customers. We are trying to expand to take on more and to focus some more on the motorsports side.

We also had several customers send us cars to work on which in hindsight we should have avoided doing. These builds have been a distraction from the core of our business.

Also, we have focused on Facebook marketing due to the lack of response here in this forum. On Facebook we have gained more customers and revenue. We are actively participating on the Z pages there. Yes this is a great community but a business has to focus where they get the most return on their investment. With that being said Bullitt has attempted to keep you guys in the loop and share some of the updates from Facebook here.



Topgunz we marketed this kit to go after the stillen kit before you were selling your kit. No one is knocking your kit. However, we would be willing to put a whipple kit against a top gun kit any day of the week. The power delivery of the whipple kit is just insane with more power under the curve the kit is sure to have a major advantage. Maybe we can schedule something.

Think we need a timeline check here. Topgunz has been sending out his upgrade kit for years.

Bullitt opened that can when he stated $14k for a stillen kit over 420whp.

The kit I offer had goals in mind. Offer a SC kit that is affordable/ecomically friendly. Offer a kit that lands the VQ37 motor in it's sweet spot for Max power yet safe and reliable.
This is especially true on the AT guys (well for engine internals also). The way it ramps in torque is linear and places the least amount of stress on the AT. Unlike "power under the curve" of PD blowers like this one. Which I get it, you can "detune" your kit to keep tq down...but then why spend the extra money?

Goals achieved!


Maybe we can schedule it sometime. Is there a car that is really ready? I'll look for the Mad Max blower sticking out of the hood so I'll know how to find you.

I have no doubt this kit would be fun to own. But for guys with less than $7k to spend it's just not possible.

Anything can be made faster than the next guy when you throw enough money into it.

You know they won’t have a car ready next month. Storms are crazy up north, plus others are only running zero timing or can’t afford a dyno tune,

Where them numbers at? I saw the one guy who said it's running but he still has minor issues. I don't have a problem with the platform or the people. But when people start calling out singles either I can do it and step up. Or I can't and I shut up. Calling people out means you're ready right now. If you're not then stay humble. Again Ocala sign up March 1st. They have shop resources, all I have is my bank account and thats it. A shop should be able to make it happen.

I duno. I'll ask Eugene. I'll get back to you though! I'm sure he has proof somewhere xD Either that or I'll ask the person who's getting his whipple tuned by him! Be back soon!

As Bullitt has correctly stated there are multiple cars on the road. I find it funny that some of you only care about dyno numbers.

Bullitt has also correctly stated that stillen was the only other turnkey supercharger kit when we started this. Yes topgunz had his a2a conversion which to be honest doesn’t make it a supercharger kit. Yes topgunz did eventually make his own kit based off the stillen bracketry. And while yes it is a budget friendly option it has limitations. You will have to upgrade the centrifugal supercharger to make the higher hp numbers we are able to achieve with just a pulley change. This isn’t knocking the topgunz kit at all but it has its place as a budget friendly option. We are bringing the best bang for your buck if you want to make power. No need to modify kits just change the pulley and switch maps.

We have several cars on the street. The kits are doing just fine. You can ask our customers their thoughts on the kit. Brad, Christian, trey and others are loving their kits. Mike even gave several stillen kit owners rides last year at zdayz and their responses are priceless.

Nothing like positive displacement power!

So you're too busy to keep up with current workload and yet you are trying to expand? That doesn't sound good
