Every morning you wake up...you're in Wisconsin.
I have to spend a week in the Bay Area 4 times a year. The sushi is a bit fresher than I get locally, but other than that I'd rather be at home Way overpriced real-estate, high taxes, and lots of tree hugging don't appeal to me

psh everbody knows california is so overated, over priced, and i'll tell you what happy cows don't live in california, the weather may be nice but the 15,000 cow mass farms that don't ever let the animals leave the milking pens, and the fact that milk cows in california produce 2/3 the milk fat content of the cows here is why Wisconsin has and always will be the dairy state. So go drink your watery milk, hug a tree, and cause the nations credit crisis a little more. $600,000 for a one story ranch? yeah that isn't inflated in any way...

Well, I can tell you where I like to live, and that's inside my 370z, and what I want to live in it, is a freaking supercharger! can we stay on topic please

If anyone has any Ideas about design, cost, power, etc. regarding the SUPERCHARGER, please post it now, less then a week and the car goes in for development, would be great to give some feedback to the Vortech engineers.

People that live in California will tell you that despite it's shortcomings with taxes and real estate prices and all, that they still love California and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I moved to SoCal from Seattle 8 years ago and I would never want to leave. I've been to 27 countries and every state in the US. California is simply the nicest place in the world to live. That's also why is has the highest population and largest economy of any US state.

As easy as it gets to install, yet the charged air should flow as freely as possible. Minimize cutting in the engine bay.

Inter cooler., when they get to the stage to the size or where to place it. Let them keep in mined that most (if not all) will have an engine oil cooler mounted in front of the radiator.

Cost wise.it really deepens on the HP goal. The VQ37VHR that comes in our cars. comes stock with a 370cc injectors (some one correct me if I'm wrong) those injector will almost max out with full blot on's.

Will Vortec just build the kit and sell it with out a fuel solution. or throw in bigger injector's, fuel regulator, or a fuel pump.

More HP = More $$
