Yes it is but when you started slandering SOHO, all beats are off.

when you said "they do not" that would be when you said it. you are letting a personal beef with SOHO cost your customer an engine that everyone knows wont last. I hope he has deep enough pockets to do it twice.

Stupid question and I'm kinda afraid to ask it right now, but would the Rotrex kit make sense over your original kit if I'm just tagerting 450 to 500 whp? Is it still a more efficient supercharger at lower boost levels compared to the old Vortech kits?

TOPGUN SPEEDWORKS ROTREX SC KIT Vs. Vortech A2A kits
Rotrex: Record breaking 708+whp/556+wtq and 22+ psi out of the box with a full filter
A2A: V3 requires overspinning and a turboguard for only 15psi.
Rotrex:Full filter that can be cleaned in 5 minutes.
A2A: Dirt and sand ingesting turboguard..or motorcycle filter that restricts psi to 12 and requires the removal of the entire supercharger to clean.
Rotrex: Cold Air Intake
A2A: Hot Air Intake (sits in engine bay)
Rotrex: Stock plenum
A2A: Stillen plenum requiring MAF and TB extension harnesses which are extremely problematic and known heatsoak issues
Rotrex: Purrs like a kitten and whines like a F1 car
A2A: Louder and chatter due to gear backlash
Rotrex: Ability to dial in exactly what psi you want to run with in cabin boost select options
A2A: Choice between 8psi or 9psi pulley. Manually removing them to swap.
Rotrex: 50,000 mile maintenance oil changes
A2A: 7,500 mile maintenance oil changes
Rotrex: Most affordable supercharger kit on the market that can break 500whp.
A2A: More expensive.

I can’t wait to see the kit on a fully built motor

Fixed.....

And it's not a customer. He is a good friend who is in this with me. I am paying for half the cost so we can retry the resend. If I feel we need a different route I'll go mazworks.

That's a lot of money to waste knowing it won't hold. Should go Mazworx from the start and not waste the time or money. But hey, it's only half your dime to toss in the trash.

Hey Everyone! I'm the owner of the Z that the Rotrex kit was developed on. Just to clear things up, during the Dyno run, when we had coolant coming out of the overflow hose, it was Aaron that told me to pull the car off the dyno. I wanted to keep going and do another pull but he convinced me that it would be best to pull the car off and build the motor before we get a major head lift and cause damage to the motor. Eugene also did warn me and explained all the issues we could potentially see by putting this much power to the motor along with pushing 22psi on a stock block. I was the one that instructed him to keep dialing things in as he did give me the warning. As his customer, he is going to tell me the potential issues but he will still continue to provide service if i request it knowing the risk of blowing the motor. These guys actually probably saved me from blowing up my motor because i got a little power hungry! i'm glad these two did their job by telling me to pull the car off the Dyno.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and tell you that if you were pushing coolant, you already lifted the heads. I'll wager that if you tested the coolant, you'd find evidence of combustion in the coolant. Inspect the block thoroughly, you'll find flame cutting on the cylinder walls. Good luck.

Good possibility it will look like this. If so, that motor will go in the garbage.

^^^^^That was an 18k mistake, just for the new engine built off my original long block. No R&R, cleaning oil lines, or re-Tune money. That is also not including the 12k I already had in that engine.

When are these kits expected to ship?
