You have a true bang for the buck kit. This is why I designed the whipple kit with RJM. The idea was to make going forced induction easier. Get into a kit and the kit be something you can grow into. Start out with 500-600whp and then when you want to go big you only have to worry about the motor and trans. No new supercharger, no new turbos or new housings. Just build the motor and trans and let it eat. Yeah it’s more expensive than your kit by a good margin but every component will last the life of the car! The pump is rated to a life that would equate to over 100k miles! There isn’t a “cheap” part in the kit and thus why the price is what it is. Could corners have been cut yeah but it wouldn’t be as solid of a kit. Everything was thought out from longevity to maintenance and performance. I am just glad some guys get to enjoy it and I can’t wait to do my build!

Different kits can not be compared. It's just someone chooses the best suited hp/tq curves he or she prefers among the kits, based on the budget. Newly developed kit requires time to make it perfect. I think the best way is to let the kit users speak for themselves.
