It's the holiday season and we all have lives outside of the forums, and sometimes life gets crazy... I'm sure we'll see/hear something soon enough. After all, we've waited this long.
Agreed, but these companies come on here and are quick to hype up their product and take orders then once it comes down to posting true numbers they disappear or make excuses when the hp/tq gains are less than desirable.

Hold up, that 436 HP or whatever it was was supposely WHEEL HP. There is a video floating around somewhere that shows the car dynoing and it hits 436rwhp.

Otherwise if the machine was somehow calculating and displaying that as the CRANK HP...well then that would be the first damn time I've ever seen a dyno show calculated crank HP instead of rwhp......now that would be dissapointing.

Nobody will know their numbers til somebody steps up and buys the product and risk their money. Right now rx twin seems like the best product

As I said before these guys as well as others start the advertising before they have a tested product.

Yes some have waited two years for this. Get a few months of testing and perfection. Then release the product. We would all haved loved that to happen. Even if we didnt know two bits about this super charger effort ahead of time. Whats a few more months and no questions?

If this started with ipf looking for r and d cars our attidude when be 100% different I am sure. Hey guys we think we got this figured out we need three daily drivers to test and tune for month or two, buy it at whatever price and be the first. Some would have been all over that idea with all of us crossing our fingers for them. But again this come out with talk of release with no backing short of we have a warranty. Which dont get me wrong is amazing in it self.

I offered my car to run R and D for an everyday driver and the response was thanks for your inquiry, but the demand for the product is too high and will not be doing this.

So spend 6000 dollars on getting a system thats based on burnout video and a fast and furious style arm wave race? UMMM NO...

How about IPF publish some real numbers!! Something we can look at and say WOW! That IS fast.

Let me guess... you offered your car for R and D... as long as they gave it to you for free or at a discounted rate? Right?

Of Course - Why not ask - Especially for those of us who are on the forum and on the streets at different events. It's great to read what people have done to their car but actually seeing it on the street, track or show is not only great for the owner but great advertising and ROI for the company.

If demand is so high - it shouldn't be long before lots and lots of videos and time slips are posted.

For this much money, I'd expect to have better performance than an SS. I could trade in my car now, lay down 6K, and get a used SS WITH a factory warranty.

I'm glad someone out there is working on a SC option for us, but this seems to be going downhill, just like the rest in the past.:(

It look like the advertised SC numbers are flywheel numbers. All this time I thought it was at the wheels. Maybe that's the reason why that SS on the vid was right next to it lol.
I would guess that they are very close in TORQUE. Horsepower all day long, doesn't mean jack, till it produces torque. This is the interesting part. BOTH superchargers are not going to produce tons of torque.... Again, because they are centrifical. Just another 2cents. So that brings me up to like... Add the 3,... Carry the 8... 96 cents!
