Currently sold out I think. I emailed them asking when they were importing more. It's a S-trim knockoff.

Minus the gearbox you mean?

I have not seen one with the gearbox since June, and they were going for around $1100.

Considering the specs, it should support 800hp.

Re: Torqstorm

All three of us are going supercharger, that is freaking hilarious...

So tired of dealing with exhaust temp issues, and I want my air conditioning back in too, thank gawd I didn't sell it, almost did. It's just a cleaner setup for our cars having a blower. Cam swap is a must for a blower, way too much overlap with the one I am running now. Was thinking about a Weiand roots charger too, but with welding in some injector bungs and custom rails, while running an elbow and LS1 throttle body. But, it's just way easier to go with a centrifugal blower though with what I already have...

That's a damn big blower. Not into that old pro-street look, but they get the attention at the track. You still got a piece of your uncle in you I see, I remember seeing one of them, or something similar, in his shop.
