Basically, from watching Billy's video, I see great features in this product and would be interested to read your comments as well

Sam, I would be very interested in your future observation of the design of this system. FI is very fascinating to me, in particular how to make it more efficient and responsive. For example the new TT from BMW is another case how they are improving Turbo technology.

. It wasn't much (if at all) faster than my car with the centrifugal blower, but he got on it in 4rth gear at 60MPH and it just pulled CLEAN from there deep into the triple digits in a way nothing I had been in before or after could replicate. Assuming Techco can replicate that, and, seeing that they are using a very similar blower, they should, I'd buy this kit up in a heartbeat if I could afford it 
And I agree with you; the Twin Turbo setup BMW devised for their V8 is fantastic too.. But I still think the Porsche 997 Turbo sets the standard for state of the art turbo technology; they are using variable vane geometry turbos to get a 3.6L six cylinder engine to hit 500 foot pounds of torque by 2700RPM...

I got a ride in a C5 Z06 with a Kenne Bell Twin Screw Supercharger by Charlie from RPM motors and it was EPIC... Over 500 foot pounds of torque by 2200RPM .

It has a water to air intercooler system, with a 118 sq in of intercooler face area in the blower manifold, (compare to a little over 50 sq in on the new ZR1)
With a single pass, water in the front out the rear, system
Hope that helps answer some questions

Super excited about this. If there was an e-mail mailing list for updates on this kit I would actually sign up for it (and I think e-mail lists are lame).
I have a forged 416 that would love some boost.
Not meant as a thread hijack but what range of SCR would be best for such a blower?

Thanks for the update.
Am I missing something, or would this kit actually be easier to install than a centri? Seems like if you can R&R an intake manifold, there would not be a whole lot left. I know pinning the crank would be the major pain in the @ss, but there is a lot less plumbing.

There is practically ZERO pluming. BTW, do you still need to pin the crank with their included 8-rib system?
I watched a video that a guy swaped a mustang S/C with a newer model in less than half an hour, put the new tune in and the car was like a moster. But I'm sure this car would be more, but certainly not like a Centri or TT.

I installed one of the Techos on my 09 Challenger, most people who see it think it is factory installed. Looks very clean. It has a very nice whinning sound. No other supercharger kit looks this nice.

From one twin screw company, to another.... You have a beautifull system. It looks really clean.
BTW, I cant see is spring loaded tensioner. Do you run one, or is it solid mounted?
