We got this kit done in 2 days, made all the piping ourselves and did all the fabricating here in York, PA... I flew up from MIAMI for this.. for one main reason... Fox and I have a few things in common, and we get ***** done!
You never know what might be next on our list.. maybe twin snails? we would knock that out in a day or two also..
as for DYNO NUMBERS and PRICING! This car leaves for SEMA this coming week, which means we have no time for that until it gets back... But as soon as it gets off the truck from SEMA and back into our hands, its going straight to the DYNO for some numbers as it is, and then back on for some more numbers with a water / meth kit to see how much juice we can squeeze out of this.
All I can say is expect the pricing to be EXTREMELY REASONABLE!
SIGN ME UP! Ill be a test dummy

i dont understand how you guys did this in 10hrs while shops out there take months!!
A low-boost supercharger kit isn't especially complicated... there's no reason it should take more than a couple days if you're reasonably competent fabbing some pipes and brackets.
bear in mind, LMS and TOMs had kits for this car out years ago, so it's even easier if you take a look at where they located stuff and see how it worked. A turbo kit would be a bit more work since there's all the exhaust-side stuff to fab up, but again nothing a competent fabricator shouldn't be able to do in a reasonable amount of time.
What you see taking months, and then never appearing at all, is folks claiming they're gonna magically add 100+ rwhp with forced induction on pump gas... because that's simply more boost that you can reasonably run on the motor.
Not to take anything away from the work these guys did, I'm sure it's a quality kit, and they'll hopefully be able to sell it for less than LMS did. But I wouldn't expect miracles out of their dyno results given what we've seen out of all the other supercharged IS350s in the past.
Oh- and when they do dyno it- I hope you took base dynos bone stock first... and I'd suggest you do it with and without the F-sport exhaust (ie switch back to stock exhaust, since that'll let people fairly judge the gains from just the blower kit)...stock exhaust/F-sport is like a 15 min swap so shouldn't be much of a problem.
