Yeah, they get to run blowers that flow 400-500cfm more then a T106, yet the turbo cars are limited to a 91mm 
, who the heck made those rules. Guess Vortech and ATI send alot of money under the table to keep those rules in their favor. They know that on equal playing ground, the turbos would own them. Oh well, doubt they will respond, would be bad for business when they lose....lol.

sc vs turbo
This is coming from a guy with a sc. NMRA has to keep it competive for both sc and turbo guys. Thats why there are restrictions keep it close. Also didnt it say 106mm turbo??? I would rather have a turbo than my vortech anyday but thats more dough plus lots more work and upgrades.

I highly doubt they will respond. To much for them to lose on this challenge. I find it funny though the NMRA limits the turbo cars to 360ci max and T91's and they still manage to beat the ig cube, big blower cars...lol.

uh.....its $3499 plus whatever turbo you choose (so probably around $4500-5k total)........thats a steal compared to any other turbo kit of comparable ability
the only kits cheaper than that are the turbotech (crappy quality) and the STS kit (only good for mild power level stock engines)
if you want it cheap, you gotta build it yourself.

Well, as was already posted, everyone knows turbos are more efficient than belt driven SC's. That does not mean everyone who wants an aftermarket PA would be better off with a tubo though. There's a lot of other considerations. Still, I like a good challenge.

Big, no numbers yet. But I hope to have some VERY soon.
Bowtiepwr, Gothp, those are the retail prices. I can do a good bit better then that on any of their kits or turbo prices. If your interested in their setup don't hesitate to PM me if you like. I always up for turbo talk... hehe.
