I went to his site and saw what he had on his Xfire so don't know what to think. Is startech and Aiden designs working together on this project?
IF anyone knows please post!
Thanks.
No I have not purchased any startech kits. But I started a group buy one time and decided to wait for aiden designs or Thomas Knight's super charger.
I remembered that a startech person said that most of the kits were only available in person (no shipping of any kind). Also the most simple 20+- hp kit was over 3k.
Here is some info from that old group buy I did:
STARTECH ST6 performance kit Group buy - 11-02-2006 , 11:49 AM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STARTECH ST6 performance kit - their site is:
http://www.startech.de/homee.htm
This is a group buy on a 15 HP performance kit from startech. It includes two things 1- special camshafts 2- special valve springs. These are not found in the US and they are very expensive and most likely have to be installed by the MB dealer.
THIS KIT IS FOR THE BASE AND LIMITED XFIRE! It is the most affordable kit they have, the ST6 and ST6 S kits are the only ones startech will ship to the US at this time, so please don't ask about the other kits. Also they are over 12k.
Here is their reply to me with the price:
