I personally dont think the supercharger is producing the numbers they were expecting as I had previously predicted several posts back. I have a feeling the cost of this kit is going to be close to the cost of a twin turbo kit.

Unless the supercharger is 5 grand or less I wont be playing. I am quickly loosing interest in the supercharger and I am leaning towards GTM's twin turbo kit. I already have the supporting mods for either kit and after reading the self install thread on the GTM twin Turbo kit, its totally doable.
at $5K what kind of HP would be acceptable to you?

Hmmm...great question. At that price point, Vortech's SC in CARB-legal form was putting out high-300s whp and about 300 ft. lbs. of torque on the old Rev-Up VQ35, right? I guess getting over the 400 whp mark with torque in the low 300s wouldn't be too out of the question on the VQ37, would it?

If this kit could produce 100 rwhp and it was 5 to 5.5 grand I would say it would be "acceptable". If it were 6500 or more than it would have to add 150 rwhp or close or otherwise most people are going to likely spend a little more and go TT or do nothing at all. I don't think I am alone here either, I suspect many others are still on the fence between a supercharger and a TT.

I have pretty much made up my mind on installing a TT kit. I am for the most part just lurking the supercharger threads out of mere curiosity.
