But your argument also applies to any supercharger kit. The F1a and all those dont come with two surge valves. I dont know any kits that do. So you're in the same boat.

If I do the G3X with my build it’s 1k more, that’s with the BOV included. OR G3, same size impeller, just not billet style. That’s 500$ more.

I had to add a 2nd BOV too. The tial 50mm BOV for supercharger is not that expensive.

1900-2000 is inflated. Vortech rates the standard YSi at 1600cfm and the YSi Billet at 1950CFM - do you think the G3X flows as well as a YSi?

They should put out the numbers on it.

For the OP:

Here is solid example of a Novi 1500 on corvette LS3 - that is why I said 780rwhp:

771/654 on 12psi 2009 auto car with a 1500. Btr cam, kooks headers and meth.

770-780rwhp on a street car is no joke. You can find examples just like this one all day long and they have good longevity. Going higher always costs more (and more) and can give up reliability.

The best I’ve seen from the g3x so far is 1050whp out of a forged ls3 with heads cam meth. So no. Not as much as ysi-b

I have 806rwhp with the biggest pulley currently on my blower. And have a procharger f-1. I have had Paxton,vortech, whipple, kB, turbos. First I don’t do anything besides procharger due to the length of life of the other boosted systems, I have gone over 140k miles on one alone and beat hard. So for the street this is my choice.

Yeah, I’ve seen them as low as 265$ and getting it installed properly was around 100$. Not bad. Just wished ESS would’ve incorporated this from day 1.

7xx sounded good...BUT..... 8xx just sounds even better. Lol. 700+ on the street is definitely no joke that’s for sure. More of an achievement number for me.......Then the 1000rwhp will be next, then that’ll be it for me.
