OK guys...Paramount Supercharger...

It's coming soon. Here's a preview of what they've got so far...hard numbers should be out next week, but it's looking like a minimum of 500 hp. I'm guessing it will be a lot more than that. It will have a twin-screw Eaton gen VI SC mounted in place of the stock manifold, updated fuel pressure regulator, injectors, control unit, and even water methanol injection cooling.

I'm trying to put together a group buy here, so if we can get a minimum of 5 people we might get a great deal.

Let me know if you're interested, and I'll let you know when I know more details.

Price was initially to be around $15,000, but with the group deal I'm hoping for around $10K.

Looks OEM. I can't wait to see the numbers and hear some feedback.

coolant lines going through the belt is a bit awkward, but it's a clever way of "working around the problem" haha

Doesn't appear to, unless it's packaged into the SC unit as it is with the ZR1.

^There may be a skinny aftercooler sandwiched in-between there somewhere. Hard to tell with the pictures.

OK, it appears to be using water-methanol injection rather than intercooling? I think that the lack of an intercooler would be a big mistake. You don't want a hot air blower with 11.3:1 compression, and surely you don't want to drive around with a huge tank of water and methanol sloshing about!

I see that Ali(he did my kit) would offer a group discount to 6speeders if he could get 4 or 5 orders(see his recent post).

For me, a "bird in the hand is worth 15-20K in the bush"

However, I am horribly biased
