I have been reading about these killer SRT GS4TT's (I will definitely get out of your was LexCiting when I am going to VA)and remember reading that SRT was discontinuing their SC kit. Has anyone heard of or know someone who has a Rod Millen SC kit?

Technically, the Rod Millen SC was never officially released for public sale, though rumors are that an exclusive group of customers did get their hands on a few. About 2 years ago, Rhy's Millen personally showed me around 20 SC kits lined up at his shop, claiming that they were getting ready to release them to customers. So I can vouch that the kits existed, but I never knew of anyone who actually got one.

I could say a whole lot more about what I know about the RMM SC, but the bottom line is your chances of finding a GS with the RMM SC kit are slim to none.

I called them up last week, spoke to Eric he told me that they are available but I would have to get someone who really knows about SC's to do the install because the instructions are not all that complete

Originally, they were supposed to provide a video as part of their instructions.

If they're not installing the SC's in house , I sure wouldn't want to deal with a warranty where the parts and labor are from two different sources.

Ahh, you're right! I 've seen his threads, but never associated the UPRD as being the original RMM set up, though I knew UPRD did the development work for RMM. Now that I've looked closely, it definitely looks like the original RMM plumbing, brackets and blower.

I thought I heard complaints about the work UPRD did for him and that someone else re-did it ? Wonder what was actually changed/fixed, cause from roenick7's pics it still looks like the original RMM plumbing, etc. Guess this is a topic for another thread.
