OK so they where able to get 10 psi, but that's just pressure and may not be sufficient volume of air to feed the 3.2 motor. And this system might create a large amount of lag time before it will provide a full 8 psi to the motor due to such small impeller and trim size. Also if you are running the stock intake manifold, that is also quite a bit of plenum volume to fill on top of filling the pistons. so there is more lag time created by filling the NA tuned intake.

When I referred to "Total Package" I was wondering how much for a completed kit, much like an Edelbrock turbo kit for a Honda.

Now, my question is, you think that dinky little blower will produce 75 hp? I don't think so, I just cant fathom that blower can possible put out any CFM.
I believe Kleenmans Supercharger puts out 6 psi, but it has much more impeller area to flow a decent amount of CFM.

You lost me on the paragraph about mounting batteries in the trunk, please explain that?
just please read the link. just erase the end of the link, go to the main page and search "thomas knight" or google "thomas knight" and the article will come up. this isn't a turbocharger, doesn't spool like a turbo, no impeller is controlled via exhaust. its a complex unit that provides shorts bursts of power at a time. it has dyno'd at 100 whp on top of the base car power. read the article, the things you spew will pollute pages...
