well i do know alittle more for i am dealing directly kinda with steve..

johnny no offense to you or any other rmm kit owner, but i have inspected the kit at nopi and 3 different cars , the kit works and works pretty good but by no means is it the end all or be all of kits nor am i implying that i know everything about these things.. but i read alot and ask tons of questions of those who have done and those that are in the know .. i just finsihed installing a outstanding kit on my friends z06 vette , we got 560 to the wheels on 3 dyno runs with one of the smoothest power bands and perfect a/f numbers i have ever seen. that install required a partial takedown of the eng but in the end i learned plenty and have gained alot of respect for the procharger unit ..


i am hoping that me and them can reach a happy median so i can get the ball rolling

Well Good Luck Ed

Glad to see the RMM kit wasnt for you. As this would have been a waste of money if i had sold it you

Hope their kit gives you the worryfree 100xtraHP you were looking for

How are you planning to get this emission certified in California?

As the kit manufacturer they would spend $5K-$10K+ and a year trying to get CARB to certify it- probably not worth the effort or the money given the number of kits they'll likely sell.

For California guys, my guess is that you'll have to play the game with the S/C - remove it before smogging or find another way to get it passed (not on the "up and up").

Unfortunate, but probably the reality of things. Not knocking them - I commend them on their efforts on this kit - and I know how difficult this type of thing is. You can't make everybody happy.
