A little off track, but people are talking about compression and all that jazz. Instead of adding a supercharger (tempting, but too rich for my blood), couldn't we just bump the compression a bit (maybe to 11:1)? We are using premium fuel on an SVT, and so it should be able to support a better than 10:1 compression.

Darn, I was praying to GOD it was in Canadian currency. Well guess what, I can't get one now. Oh Well. Maybe if I win the lottery. Thanks for breaking it to me kindly!! Originally posted by SilVer bulleT:
Yes they are in Canada, much like myself, but NO, that is not a $CDN you see on their website, check the fine print...all prices are in $US...sorry to spoil the fun..
Good luck to those who invest the time and money, I want to see what these tours can do!!!

I am looking forward to this but I fear it may be priced high. Heck, just look at how they priced the new 6-cylinder Outback - the MSRP on that is $40k Cdn. No thanks, I'd rather get an AWD Passat and still have money left over! I'm hoping, but trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Did anybody call SHM and find out how the kit was tested - have they actually put one on a car, stressed it on the track a little and racked up 1000 miles or so? This would be a minimum expectation. That 80-90HP gain suggests the boost is probably on the high side 7-9psi? Was the stock computer, cooling and oil systems ok? Detonation issues? They should be able to answer these questions if the kit is available. Just curious but I hope they did it right- if shes strong enough would love to see a S/Ced, Quaifed out SVT jump some unsuspecting M3 and administer a spanking. Could videotape it and sell as a porn film.
