Default RR Racing new “basic” supercharger kit

I’ve heard rumors of rr racing working on a new “basic” supercharger kit. Any spec details or price on this kit yet? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

No need to speculate, here is what the new kit does.

- Basic kit will make nearly 500whp without intercooling.
- With water/meth injection and/or higher octane kit will make much more.
- Intercooler option will also be offered.

what makes the new kit less expensive than our original kit?

(1) no carbon fiber piping
(2) single large BOV instead of 2 BOVs
(3) no ATI harmonic damper to drive the SC
(4) conventional tensioner rather than current billet HD tensioner.
(5) intercooler optional

We included many premium features in our complete kit but we realize not everyone has the budget for it. That said, it’s possible to start out with the base kit, and easily upgrade components over time to suit your needs.

More details and pricing to be announced later in July.

I would expect cheaper piping and a smaller blower.

Cheaper piping? So instead of aluminum what would they use?

So would upgrading still come out to the same price of the upgraded kit? Is the cheaper kit a complete kit?

Pretty sure their piping is carbon, aluminum would be the downgrade.

The top half is CF is the bottom is not. Doubt just changing the piping would drop the price thousands of dollars.

Can’t wait for this. If it is substantially cheaper, depending on power capability, it may change my plan.

same size blower?
