Yeah... this was posted a few months ago. Looks badass for sure, but for that price I'd just do a 2JZ swap and use the leftover $$ to upgrade.

The price kills it... Whipple SC kits for mustangs are like 5-6k... thats more reasonable IMO

I agree.. but the mustang is a simpler and more supported format.
If the kit was 6-8K that would be more palatable.

Remember this kit is a COMPLETE kit.
From fuel system to an already programmed engine management.

I'm just glad that SRT is still in the 2nd GS performance game.. as almost no one else is..

Does anyone know if the test 4.3 GS this was mounted on is on the forum?

SRT posted this "new" kit long ago. I am curious if it has been released officially yet, because I have yet to see anyone posting an installed kit that was consumer purchased from SRT.


I've had my RMM SC kit installed in my car for many years. Trouble free and enjoying every minute of it.

Good luck to the rest of you.

11K for a supercharger.......I see 7-8K in parts paid at retail. 11K? Thats a down + basic mods for an IS-F. Let's say you don't want a new car. You can do a LSx swap twin turbo, or supercharged for that price. 500+whp at 32mpg? Sounds more luring to me.

in light of me being a "negative nancy" - valiant effort SRT. The quality and R&D is definitely proof. Install nearly appears OEM.

Oh yea.. you were very fortunate to know the Rod from RMM from the start!
Again your car is one of the top 3 GS's on this form.. pure sex on wheels!

I am not defending the price.. just the fact that if money was not a factor (which for the majority of us it always is ) this kit is as close as I have seen to a HEADACH free way to have a SC'd GS 4.3.

And you are right.. I love the CNC machining and the black powder coating.

This kit makes about 400WHP from what I have read that is about what the A650e will handle.

Either way.. if you have the cash for this kit.. the money for one of this will not be an issue and will more than handle the power.

It's hard to get rid of this car, especially since "Rod" autographed the dash and my pinkslip says "Rhy's Millen".
