Now that we have data from Chuck's hotside with the FFS modifications, I can say that it will be offered like the FFS coldside as 190WHP minimum and up to 220WHP depending on your model year, available octane fuel and local ambient high temperatures. Also, like the FFS coldside, WHP will not effect the price of the kit as it is simply based on the size of the crank pulley supplied.

We have confirmed the price as $3495 delivered to your door in the Continental USA (49 states) or $3995 installed here in Phoenix. We will not take orders until the kits are here and ready to ship. That should be sometime in late July or early August.

If/when the coldside passes CARB, we will work on CARB for the hotside.

Couldn't you just take my money and let me guess as to when I'll get the kit? :lol:

I think there is another supplier that has the corner on the market for that marketing approach. ;)

Just an update:

On my road trip last week to SoCal and back, I never used more than 1/4 throttle on the freeways to pass anyone. In fact, it was a little uncomfortable on my right foot as I never had to use the full range of motion for the throttle. lol

What a problem. :D

At this level of power - 190+HP - I rarely ever need to "floor" the throttle anymore. As an experiment, I drove at 4000 RPMs or above TO SoCal (around 80MPH) and got 25 MPG.

On the way back to Arizona, I drove slightly below 4000 RPMs (around 70~75MPH) and got 28MPG.

I used to get 29~30 MPG before the supercharger at 4000 RPMs or above.
