The world is a vicious cycle. I saw on the discovery channel that moths drink bear ****. Moths are being eaten by the salmon that swim upstream. Salmon are caught by the bears. Therefore, bears have superpowers in their pee.
Bears sleep in trees and can climb up ladders. Also, they are intelligent to open a door ****. A black female bear can smell about 8 times more sensitive than a blood hound. But, they are also the ones that defend their cubs from animals trying to eat their young.

beginning to doubt this is going to happen in the time frame of use for me. If this thing could be mass produced it could save the 8. We sure are loosing the performance war that is going on. Mainly hp. The rest of the car is absoulutly perfect for me. For me all I would need is 50 more to the wheel hp(total 250 to the wheels). Dont want turbo--my own reasons.
Mazda needs to wake up or the 8 is going to get left in the dust. Save the 8 Richard--save the 8!!!

(Someone please correct me if anything here is incorrect.)
Reliability ought to be fine, but since it isn't finished so no one knows for sure.
The supercharger is done and installed in his (Richard's) car and he has been running fine.
What's taking so long is engine management. I believe all the solutions out now cost +$1000 and don't work that well. And I believe RP hated working with them.
Part of what's taking so long is Richards efforts to keep the kit relatively cheap.
You can get Turbocharged now for ~$10,000 for the kit + install + tune
Soon-ish you ought be able to get super charged (I think Petite said ~$7000 + install + tune)
I believe RP is trying to keep the price a bit lower.
