I agree. We need more details on these superchargers.

There were a few SCs on MLs at Motorwerks (dealer in Chicago, not in Houston) about 2 years ago that had issues. Not sure if they ever got them running or if they just took the SCs off? Anyone know?

Agreed. We (Speedriven) have decided not to spend any time developing forced induction for the 63s (we felt we were too small to compete with the more established companies that were already going after the small market of 63s, while there seemed to be a niche open for us at the top end of the V12 turbo spectrum) but that doesn't mean I couldn't sell a few of someone else's kits to clients in Chicago!

I guess time will tell. Just seems like all these intros but nothing comes out on the street. Hopefully someone gets something good soon I'm almost at the end of the line with the mods available now

This is not accurate. We will certainly announce once we begin an install.

thanks

O sorry I thought that thread u started in the bs forum , I think it was 3 weeks ago was in reference to the install of his supercharger? You guys made many references to that I thought? Did you not start it at all?

Nope, nothing was started and we certainly did not allude to that. A user mentioned he was getting one, that was as far as I think it went.

Thanks

Brad, I think it was confusing to some people when you posted the following, over a month ago, shortly after JRCart made a vague comment that seemed to imply he'd bought a Weistec S/C kit:

You also made a couple "don't know what I'm allowed to say, but the install cost will be lower than was estimated by others" comments.

I think many assumed that he'd bought a Weistec S/C kit, and was having evosport handle the install for him.

Thank you for clarifying that was a false assumption.

This all may be true, but that does not say that the install had commenced! =)

Ah, I see. Fair enough.

Perhaps we have different definitions of "very soon" then.

Thanks for your reply.

Harrop makes a bad little 1.9L supercharger for the gen-5 Camaro SS's. It turns the engine into a torque monster. Of course, it's limited by its size but it's very efficient for a basically stock engine.
