Default Fyi: Rmm Supercharger Is No Longer Available

Just checked the RMM site, looks like they finally updated it after like 2 years. www.rodmillenstore.com


The supercharger is no longer offered for the GS in the engine section.

I'd take that as a sign that they're all gone.

I have been calling them regularly for months trying to get them to scrape up another unit. All they have are some spare parts that they're keeping for past customers who might break something.

If you don't count the 20k + SRT TT system, I don't know of any other off the shelf supercharger or turbo kit available for the GS.

If there is such a kit, please shout out.

Someone should market a plug and play FI kit for the GS.

I'll bet they'd sell well.

ive heard you can buy the bracket frm www.lextreme.com

the bracket is the key to the RMM S/C

once you have that you do your own system

price on the bracket i heard was $500

but this what i have heard fron a couple of S/C owners and people looking to S/C

the secret of the RMM S/C is the bracket

now that you know

i hope to see alot of new faces in the FI Registry

Yeah I looked into the Lextreme kit a while ago, but that kit is for the LS and the bracket is for the driver side of the engine. I suppose it could be flipped over to do the passenger side.

There's still an issue with finding or designing an intercooler that will fit, as well as doing the piping, etc.

Still too far from a plug and play kit for me.

Yeah on the 400 or 430 there's nothing readily available in a complete DIY kit.

The GS3 has several kits available.

Bluelex read my mind..................this is the once in a life time chance to get a TT kit for a GS for a quarter of the price they sell it for.......evn with install, you are still coming out slightly above the RMM SC kit installed.....and getting a much more powerful system. I need to ask Mo why it wont work on the 430, it seems that it would to me....but I guess there is a reason he say sit wont.


00lex....the inside scoop is that you can pick up a locals SC kit, and he would be more than willing to take the TT kit off of my hands......sounds like a winner for all of us!!

guys , yeh i bought the last RMM supercharger system.
the secret is the machined bracket that they have. basicly if u have the bracket, you can make your own supercharger system using vortech, or IHI or other SC. it would be nice to see it done though. if i were not have bought the system , i would definately go with that route.
