No numbers yet. But will post and keep updated as information is available.

[MGM1979]

didn't even know they were shipping yet - damn! how much?

[SCblkRL]

the production units are not available yet.

This is part of the test units.

Price I think is slated to be 2250 but of course can change.

[Doc]

Test away....
What are your first impressions..?

[SCblkRL]

I have not had a chance to drive it yet, but the response I am getting back from it, being that it is setup to mimic a stage 2 setup, just changing out the blowers, is that is pulls hard, much harder on the top end and boost is almost instanteous.

Initial dyno number that came back was increase of 15/8 over baseline dyno, yet drives like it has more of an increase than that.

:zlurking: Keep going.....I'm listening.....

A local guy was offered a test unit...kinda disappointed he didn't do it.

That is disappointing. You could have gotten a chance to play.

yea it may not be the best of things, especially first and second gears.

[Doc]

I guess you'll need to limit the boost in first so launching is achievable....

[SCblkRL]

this is true, which it is already limited some. (probably need to limit it some more)

Problem is it will just smoke them once it hits about 5k anyways in first and second.
