600 WHP is more than enough I would think.....you'll just be sitting and spinning the tires otherwise.
If you go onto youtube and do a search for "ecs novi c7" you will see a couple. You can also see the intercooler, etc. It is a very neat, and clean install.

if you went to a regular shop you could get it done for 7k or a bit more. Hennessey assumes more liability, so it is more.

If that's the case, I consider it a bargain. SC's alone for the car I have now start at around $10K and the price goes up with more boost.


Cheers.

Hmmm a bit higher than I thought, but I had not considered the powertrain being warrantied by Hennessey.

For $10,000+ (not talking about warrantied cars) I'd expect a TT setup. In and of itself a SC setup IMHO shouldn't be that much.

You can take to a regular shop who will install and send you down the road for $7k-10k depending on the system..

The ECS Novi kit is running around $5k plus install. You are looking around $5700 - $6k installed.

I am getting mine installed in a week or two at Redline Performance in Pampano Beach in FL.

Twin turbo setups right now available you are looking at $24k I believe from LMR.

Jegs.com has the ZR1 crate engine at about $21,000. Then the engine controller is about $1,400 but it's not street legal

This is about where I thought a SC application would run cost wise......maybe a bit on the lower end.

IMHO that is a pretty high price unless the boost is being pushed up fairly high or the engine is being built.

The supercharger kit is $4,995, generally we do not take deposits, but we do have a list of people waiting and ship in the proper order. At the time of shipping we call for payment. If you have changed your mind for any reason there is no problem, the next person in line will be more then happy about it I'm sure. We are a couple of weeks out on filling new orders, but overall thats not too bad since we are the only company shipping kits at the moment.

Thanks for your interest!

We have several threads in the forced induction section, oh wait... there is no forced induction section... so they are in the tech section.

If you have any questions feel free to ask, we give full transparency with our products and will answer any questions openly.

btw, Paxton and Vortech have the same parent company, so the head units are the same, just different tags on them.
