Me being skeptical or impartial equals to you being aggressive defending a product YOU DO NOT OWN or PLAN TO BUY...
Relax with the propaganda brother, I appreciate the news, but no need to take a stand on behalf of Speedriven, I stand corrected if you are involved with their R&D department or something like that, but let the actual buyers speak on behalf of speedriven and/or Weistec.

Not bashing Weistecs version (I actually considered it)
With all due respect, I understand if you like and support Speedriven, but, was there a need to bash Weistec's product while you do it?

Again posted on 1st page..
They told me ALL their 2.9 blowers have to remove the 2ndary SMOG pump making them
Unsmogable in CA... Unless Weistec was confused thinking it was for the 6.3 Natty engines?
Speedriven pricings still up in air but rumors have it @ UNDER $8k Plus I asked if they would possibly be adding still larger setups to the mix IE 3.4 liter
Konrad said maybe!
I'll be adding another car to the stable this winter (Luv either AMG 55k Wagon or Natty 63 Wagon)
Ubber: The Car-Culture scene in CA is among the largest in entire Nation etc.. (I hate SMOG & run catless between SMOG testing every 3 yrs)

I stand corrected on the purchase comment, I'm guessing down the road you'll buy one of these blowers and share you experiences here, congrats.

Please @ very least read the 1st page of my thread here, I said & plan this in near future (Why are the majority of naysayers just skimming this thread? Then fast fwd to end & make another inaccurate statement on my account)

Sample 1
Also was told this big blower doesn't REMOVE the 2nd'ary SMOG pump (Weistec's 2.9 blower does remove this & will make CA or other SMOG requiring states UN-SMOGABLE on Weistec's larger 2.9 blower) mmmm... perhaps I should NOT BUY Weistec and buy Speedriven, thanks!
Speedriven's 2.9 blower will be 50 state legal REALLY???? is that a guarantee? (according to Konrad, new employee.. Also says it's making great power)
So to ALL you wondering if Speedriven was going anywhere? Not logistically, but moving the HP/TQ off the charts! Way to NOT support!

Anyway, this is pointless.
