Low volume = higher cost. GTM will probably sell 10 of these total. It really is a solution looking for a problem.

The problem it fixed was AWD auto G37's having little to no options for FI. They just released a TT kit for them as well. It isn't a high volume kit. They are made to order. There was a lot of fabrication and design to get it to market, the superchargers cost a couple thousand each, and the mounting brackets holding the superchargers and pulleys are expensive to manufacturer and low volume.

Hey Firehawk, can you post a video when you get your car back, or one from GTM, when you do the test drive. We all are super curious. Thanks!

There will be updates as I get them. My test drive won't be till August unfortunately, out of the country...so I'll see what I can do in the interim.

Not much, but here is a pic of the tear down. They started work earlier this month. A lot of other projects going on, but at least some updates will be coming along soon. Sucks knowing I won't be able to touch the car for another 6 months!

bumper, oil cooler, intakes, manifold, radiator drained, maybe another thing or two I can't see. They sent this to me on Monday. Anyways, they are putting on a lot of other things too that will slow things down. All that's in my build thread though. I just wanted to update this for everyone tracking the twin SC thread. Believe me Baer, I had similar thoughts, but in hindsight, it doesn't matter, I won't be home till August. So long as it's completed correctly, and gives me similar results as the stage 1.5's and 2's (your numbers look purty), I'll be happy.

In reality, they had my car since 04DEC. She's been waiting in line. With a pickup date in August, they don't have to worry about delivering mine any time soon.

Here are some updates Mike just sent. These are in my journal as well. They are also the same FMIC's found in the MHI kits, so it should look familiar. Hopefully there are some numbers to publish in the next 3-4 weeks. I'm just excited to finally see parts on the car
