Why are we wasting our time discussing this goofy supercharger setup? Why don't you guys purchase a Paxton supercharger and build up from there! They are proven equipment and are well built.
Also Thomas Knight doesn't have any specs or CFM numbers to back his claims. So until then this is all Snake oil racing!
BY all means, I wish you to prove me wrong, if you believe so strongly in this product. Bolt it on your XF and do some 1/4 mile testing.
But if I'm going to drop $3,000 I will be doing it with a product that has a track record. Good luck in your quest for more power.
did you read it yet? do you know that it was a third party test? do you have any idea what's going on? do you know that website is one of the most respected turbo commentators out there. do you know what it would cost to purchase a paxton supercharger and "build from there"? do you really know about cars or just say stuff other people have told you? if you have a problem with the thread, go talk about how awesome that throttle response this is that you returned. your pessimism is pretty annoying.
