I'm sure they are great at making whistling noises. Doubt they make power without a tune

iono id want to do a side by side comparison one day dyno, track, qtr mile with a supercharged F i love that RR Racing came out with the supercharger props to rafi for taking the time and effort! it opens up the isf community to being different and also competing with the other makes out there that have supercharger and turbo kits made for their cars.hopefully other companies will be interested in making more engine internal parts for our cars since our cars are getting a little more on the affordable side. i plan on really building the motor to see what its capable of and if it means stand alone in the future so be it. just been so busy with life that i havent had time to resource

Respect though for the engine build. Coming from a previously turbocharged car, what a great feeling when the boost kicks in and that was on a highly strung 4cyl. I can only imagine what its like with a 8cyl. Dont get me wrong i love my ISF with bolt on mods but to have forced induction would be fantastic. Hoping you get some longevity and reliability out of it :-)

Agreed

I'd seen the photos here, but it looked even better in person after I installed it.. Also, I've already done some minor damage from a parking lot curb, so I'm very glad I didn't spend big bucks on it.

It's not as clean as it was over the weekend, but still looking good at the office.
