Never seen it, but that baby Whipple is pretty neat. Little questionable since it's straight out of China and twin screw superchargers need to be built to super close tolerance not to self destruct.

 

Yes, it would be better if it was built in the U.S.

 

I'd be leery of this. If you want more power it makes more financial sense to just trade in for a 6.

 

Did you get a parts price quote?

 

$5000.00 .

 

What could possibly go wrong?

 

So assuming a good DIY install (no labor costs) it lands at ~$20/hp, the need to move to premium fuel and will require more maintenance.

If someone needs to pay labor, the cost/hp rises greatly.

That may be considered a bit stout for some folks.
