Wow i just realized we are talking about 33,000+ dollars for 9 people. WOW! With initial deposits being 9,000 bucks. Damn that is a huge amount of cash all at once. 9 people seems pretty steep... what happens if all 9 spots can't be filled? I wish i had that kind of cash coming my way. Go RIPP go!!

RIPP, i only have 8kmiles on my car. do i have to work my engine in some more before i do a serious engine modd like this?

We are not releasing the stage one under the group buy. We are stocking up fro the 9-11psi kit rated on BlazinOZ’s car at 22whp and 211lb/ft.

Right 222whp (We never posted a DYNO sheet, we caught hell for it) But that’s the HP level

The retail price of our full on kit will be 3899.11, which is pre-tuned all the way up to 18psi and whatever the level of boost will deliver HP wise. So essentially, if you were to buy a stage one kit and upgrade to the stage 2 kit you would be well over $4000.

Example:
$3599.95 Stage one
$499.95 Boost Cooler
$269.95 Over Drive Crank Pulley

As opposed to the group buy pricing. The deal is here its just a matter of recognizing it.

From what we have been reading there shouldn’t be a problem running up to 9guys for this buy. The product it strong and solid. The testing shows it to be extremely reliable. We make exception to the limit of the group buy, but again, its for marketing, we want the hardcore guys with a thirst for power and reliability to sign on. Almost all of you have been following this from the beginning, that’s almost a year of BlazinOZ’s car running strong.

I wonder if the supercharger sounds alot like a turbo charger? I really like the turbo wushhh sound but I don't know what a supercharger sounds like

Basically, what would make the supercharger a better choice than a turbocharger?
With the SDS you won’t need to upgrade anything. We include all the upgrades, our new 04” Option Loud” Blow Off Valve comes with the kit, and the new gray box with its ability to keep the tune in check is also included.

In the future all you would need to do is upgrade your internals and change one more pulley and your running big boost. The beauty is the SC will never over boost. Its belt driven so no worries about over boosting.

I am down for this product, Its new, unique, and gives you your best bang for you buck... now all I gotta do is sell my old stuff and come up with some more money. I hope I can help you guys out with the groupbuy and get the money in by June 5th. I wouldn't want to pay 4000 or so when i can use that money to upgrade internals and run higher boost.
