The price is RIGHT, and I want one if it is fesaible for my car.

Personally, I don't think I'd pay money for any blower package that (a) doesn't reduce compression and (b) isn't intercooled.

I'm also not too fond of centrifugal blowers in general.


Dinan is coming out with one, but there is
NO WAY it is worth the 10K or more it will cost!

Okay, yes, Dinan charges a pile of money. They've also got a bunch of satisfied customers out there.

This blower is safe without lowering the engine compression and using intercooler, because it only use a very conservative boost pressure as opposed to usuall turbocharged engine that used a hefty amount of boost. I don't think the supercharger will benefit as much from intercooler as the turbocharger counterparts. This is just what I think. And for 4000, not bad at all.
