too expensive for too little gain (Kleemann is better value)

I haven't checked into it in a while, but I thought that was at the crank.

............I actually looked into this quite a bit before choosing Kleemann. I have a Lorinser body Kit on my car and wanted Lorinser supercharger as well. Simply put.............Using a Lorinser supercharger in USA is STUPID. It can only be be installed or serviced by CEC at only two locations in the USA. So, even if the sytem is perfect you still have no product support because there is no one nearby to go to if you have questions or a problem. Secondly, it is ridiculously expensive. It makes Kleemann look like a bargan in comparison. Thirdly, Hp gains are small when compared to less expensive systems.

I guess they lowered the price, they told me $17000 for the kit. And I have no doubt they gave me the wrong information with the HP ratings...

Hell for that price I would go with Kleemans... Heck HPS even, it seems like I can get better support than CEC...
