Is it me or does he seem clueless that engine managment is the biggest problem driving this motor beyond a big shot of nitrous? Standalone or current flash options. Either option just came out and was a ***** to develop, let alone the 10k RR SC kit. Turbo will certainly make more power but cost much more. Unless you guys are finacially loaded to develop said parts and take a huge upfront loss, I dont see it.
Strap the best nirous kit money can buy and have fun, but no money to be made trying to reinvent the wheel here.


Good luck.

I'm sure they're financially ready for this project and know the money they'll spend and lose during R&D. That's what it takes to push and move forward and I'm rooting for Sikky! Wish them all the success in the world on this project and can't wait to see what's developed!
Also, the RR supercharger cost $10k but in actuality, it only cost RR about $4k-6k tops in parts/etc, the rest obviously profit.

"Profit" aka ROI on the initial development/testing and tooling to build the carbon charge pipes, brackets, ect.

Definitely looking forward to this, hopefully they stick through with their plans. As we all know many have tried and failed or abandoned this platform due to difficulty's and complications, also the limited number of units and people willing to spend the money.

I don't think there are many people who aren't willing to spend the money....Just have to have products and options for F'ers to spend the money on. We all know competition drives prices down....If there were say 10 different super charger kits out, I honestly​ don't think the RR supercharger would cost what it does. Just my opinion.

Is that why there aren't so many threads about muffler deletes & discount store brake pads & spark plugs?

Demand is what spurs development.
