Heh...not that I gave it much thought...as I dont really have much of that left after the recent ordeal...

But...you end up with stain and nothing but stickiness and disappointment...

The worst part...none of that stickiness is your own...and it shall never be...

Haa haa

I just sent Lauren a bunch of new ones, so they will probably be up soon.
I can't comment on the Jello thing...

Jedi: I had to "work" strangely enough...and it required my absolute attention...looks like I might have to go to asia soon so I might vanish yet again...however until then...its back to slacking about as hard as I work...which means mas spam...

MM: Some things never change...praise jeebus! Keep up the damn fine work...Unfortunately I couldn't make SSX so no beer for me...however I might just drop by for no other reason than to get beer and retry to convince you for the millionth time that you need a fluffer...even if you dont...haa

All: If you haven't had your way with a Jello mold consisting of a 4:1 ratio of gelatin and water...you haven't lived...ballistic gel "feels" lifelike...if lifelike means that the person melts due to all that heat from jiggling...haaa

Well, on looking at the website MM posted, I am not sure I trust their math.... All of their percentage claims are way off. The first "stage" kit produces 247 hp @ 6 psi.... nothing to sneeze at, but it is not a 60% increase over 170-180 Hp for a car that is only running 170 stock hp, a 60% increase would be about 270ish hp. The rest of their calculations are off in a similar manner. If anyone has an explanation for this, I am interested. Otherwise, even though it is a seemingly innocuous mistake, it leads to an overall distrust and dislike for the company.

Yeah I'm not sure either, I hate when companies say 60-70%, etc. Just show a dyno and say we made 43.7% at the wheels on ____ psi. The results do look impressive and I know that prochargers are pretty reliable from people who I've known who had them. It's selling for $10k (aus, which is like $8,700 us) So I'm not sure if thats worth it but the numbers on 10psi is what I'm looking for. If it could price around $5k, I'd probably go with it but it doesn't look like that will be the case, guess we will see.

Actually they claim 274 at the wheels not 247.

I had the brochure but it got soaking wet.

The DNA dyno graphs are marketing junk, anyway.
They look like someone double-clicked the MS Paint icon and went to town.

axial flow unit is actually pretty interesting if anyone wants to compound charge because of it's small size.....

Are you referring to the lack of data below 60mph? I noticed thats just about when it starts making less than stock power and torque.

It's probably a good racing solution but not really that great for the street especially compared to the Pettit SC, Hymee SC or GReddy turbo if you think about stop and go or passing power below 4K rpm.

Looking at Richard's SC up close I wondered if his intake opening to the SC was large enough to flow the air needed. It's seemed pretty small relatively speaking but I didn't take any measurements and haven't done the math.

the pipes seems small, but that big *** box in the front would probably do the job and he got a turbine fin sucking in air

Sorry to confuse. I meant the opening to the supercharger itself. Not his custom intake manifold. Is the opening to his supercharger properly sized to the requirements of the engine at max load?

Richard, any idea when Cobb will actually get the car to work with and any guess as to how long it will take them to write the maps, etc.

nothing wrong with the math - its just that we tend to use Dyno Dynamics dynos in this part of the world and they read low .

Cobb does have it working. They've got it figured out. I heard a potential reason that's holding them back but I'm not sure how true it is and I don't want to have a simple rumor turn into something that everyone believes when there's no proof.

I saw the man Trey himself on TV the other night where they interviewed him. He must certainly have his plate full even thou he's a youngish guy. Why? Show was about Cobb and them building their new subie race cars (all CF), new build facilities on some race track, new subies to outfit. It's no wonder other cars don't get the dedicated effort needed for quick turnaround, he'll need a lot of help looks like!

Wow thanks for the update Rotary.

Seems things are falling into place and may mean this will soon be a reality.

I still can't forget the short ride I took in Pettit's 'charged 8.
Even without an intercooler in yet the thing was rocket on the low end at least.
