$9k to get a 100+ rwhp!!???!?! WTF!
I added a supercharger to my Cobra and it cost $2400.00 for a brand new complete setup. I nearly doubled my horsepower with a few extra add-ons...and that's to the rear wheels. I can't believe how expensive a supercharger is for these vehicles to just get them to 400 rwhp.

2. what fuel management exactly?
3. you can't charge people for "dyno tune"...
4. can't charge people for labor
Especially since they have to reinstall it onto their car.

I tried calling you about 10 times over the course of 2 weeks and you never responded when you first posted this ad. I don't know if anyone has contacted "ryan" about this for sale add and reached him by means other then the internet, but if no one is getting anything more then intertext, buyer beware. I again repeatedly tried (along with a few other members) to get a hold of you a few weeks ago and nothing. You didn't return e-mails or phone calls.

Basically, like every other member on here we are all just curious as to how this RMM Supercharger cost you $9000 when it cost everyone else who bought it $4500?
Your car looks awesome and it is a real shame you have to part it out.
Good Luck,
Jonny

Guys, Ryno is allowed to ask for whatever price he desires. Lets not tell him what he should be selling the kit for.
but on that same note if you Ryno are asking for this higher than normal price we normally see for used RMM Superchargers with the reasoning that it is a "one of kit" and "custom" you will have to get the details as to what makes this kit so "special". Its a hard sell without facts like some have asked for... A dyno doesn't always tell the whole story. If in fact the SC was customized, what was customized? What Fuel management are you using? Are you using nos in combination with the SC? These are questions that should be answered. Good luck in your sale....

I will dig up the information on what makes it different. But I just want to make sure if I can prove that it is different that some one will be interested in it. I am very busy and don’t want to waste my time... I hope you can understand.

Ryno,
You can look it up but I'd be surprised if it's a whole lot different tweaks than anyone else who runs the RMM SC here.. it's got a smaller pulley, a BOV and air/fuel engine management. None of those items came with the basic RMM SC kit.
My tune is conservative and has laid down 389 rwhp, yours is only about 12 rwhp more if remember correctly. A bit more tweaking with a smaller pully (yours is probably 2.8x and mine is 3.0) will get you that, and several other members have achieved about the same. I doubt there is anything magical going on here 'inside the supercharger'.
You've pulled together the right set of added components to take it from a +75 to 100 crank horsepower claimed basic RMM setup to what you see listed here at 400 rwhp.
While your second statement is most definitely true compared to domestics especially (welcome to the world of Lexus tuning), your stock GS puts down 225 - 245 rwhp, so to be fair this is over 150+ rwhp. The other guys are right in that this kit sold for $4,500 from RMM without all the extras listed above (which are many, but think you may be optimistic in your additive pricing).
