Kind of a cool video. For the price point of the blower -- especially because they are planning to sell to the SLS market (that's really high end) -- seems like an interesting marketing strategy. 
I really like the sound from inside the car. Sounds awesome.
Edit: I'll admit, the vid got me to visit their website again.

The trans can hopefully handle the 5psi power level. More than likely it can, mainly because these power levels are being acheived with tune and good headers already and the TCU will kill power if it feels it's in danger. So you're always going to be limited by the trans, as those who have plenty of experience with this trans will attest.
Weistec advertised that they can make the trans accomodate higher power levels. Many people are eager to hear what they can do.

The engine doesn't sound like it has a supercharger. It sounds different from the video on Weistec's site....

From inside the car in this vid it doesn't sound like stock exhaust. But, it doesn't really sound like headers either.
I guess we'll find out how these cars sound when some of them are driving around and more videos come up.

This has been discussed at length. The consensus is so long as the tune is dialed in and fuel demands are properly accounted for, the engine should hold up to the 5psi power level just fine.
The trans can hopefully handle the 5psi power level. More than likely it can, mainly because these power levels are being acheived with tune and good headers already and the TCU will kill power if it feels it's in danger. So you're always going to be limited by the trans, as those who have plenty of experience with this trans will attest.

Weistec
Where in california is Weistec located? Is this something we can stop by and check out?
Car sounds good. Wonder how that car is going to perform with it's S/C along with a set of LTH and full exhaust and other goodies?

Heat will be an issue with SCing, I would've avoided it on the BS since it is/will be a classic for a while. C would've been my first vote esp since there is so much aftermarket support with hoods, tuning, exhaust, etc

I have already shot my wad on the C63 and there is a vented hood coming for the BS so heat issue can be mitigated
