Thinking about upgrading
I am thinking about upgrading my supercharger.
"It is much less expensive and more energy efficient than any turbocharger, supercharger, blower, or intercooler."
Could this threaten the livelyhood of LPE & ECS?

I had one of these before my ECS Paxton. It made great power, but my Paxton looks cooler, and was only about $6400 more.

Actually, don't knock it until you try it. I put two of these on my car and then dyno'd it. I saw a 78 HP increase. Can't beat it for $88.00.

I may order some more and put three on each pipe. Now that is some serious power.

Im just wondering if anybody has actually tried them. If I had free access to a dyno, I would pick one up and just put it on several different cars to see if it even made a difference. Couple extra ponies in the Beater wouldnt hurt "IF" it actually worked. lol

At least the web site has a free game that kills some time.
