Default Jet Technologies supercharger

Hey guy's! Anyone know anything about Jet Technologies? I found this supercharger on e-bay and it sounds like a good deal. Check it out and let me know what you supercharger nuts think about it. It would be good for someone like me that doesn't have a money tree out back. I guess the guy used to design jet engines and put his knowledge into a supercharger. He has made up a few kits for different vehicles.

Now here's the problem. They want $3,200 for just the supercharger and the brackets. That does not include any of the tuning or fuel stuff, rerout of hoses or anything else.

If you call up vortech or ATI, I'm guessing that you can get just the supercharger and brackets for $3k or less. Its all the other stuff that makes the kit fit the car that really jacks up the cost.

It doesn't include the tunning or intercooler. It does include all rerouting and you use your existing air box. It can also flow up to 1700cfm. I think that is higher that the procharger p-1sc.

1700cfm is WAY OVERKILL for a stock engine. Even a modified one. At around 1000cfm I believe equates out to roughly 600hp(crank) depending on the setup.

It to freaky to send over $3000 for a supercharger setup that no one ever knew or heard about and or not proving. You better off get a used Procharge head unit on ebay and build your own custom drive setup. You will be much happier when it done. To be honest I don't like any SC kit with 6 rib drive.

Thought I would get back to you guys and let you know what I found out.

Adom seemed a little botherd by my questions. He did say that there is about 250 of his superchargers on peoples cars. He wouldn't give any #'s of people I could call because he would have to check with them first. I can understand that. There is instructions that come with the superchargers but I have yet to see them or any good pictures.

go with a procharger or a vortech because the knowledge base is bigger. I wouldn't be at where I am today without the forum. I knew a ton about vortechs before the forum but the guys on the forum definately took that to the next level. I know a ton about prochargers and vortechs (I've owned 2 s trims, 2 t trims, a r trim, a ysi and a d1r) and yet I've to hear about jet. That should tell you something right there.

Default Should be "junk technologies"

I was one of the fools who had high hopes and jumped into buying into they're junk. That guy Adam thinks hes a rocket scientist, but he is far from it. I went three months waiting for them to build a bracket for my SMALL BLOCK CHEVY.

To continue: They built this piece of crap bracket with all the trates of a scab mechanic with a 5th grade education. As a matter of fact I asked for my money back as soon as I saw it. When I tried to get my money back but was trumped by Visa and got no help from my bank, which I am still pissed about. These guys are theives stay away and spread the word please.
