Im not sure where you are going with that? But, considering you have the sds im guessing it may be something against turbos. It doesnt really prove a valid point saying "my supercharger coems with 100 things to install and your turbo only comes with 10 pieces to install"

If you want a Pentium 4 go turbo
If you want a Celleron go SC.

Basically RRM should say that there non-ic is STAGE1, IC is STAGE2, and RRM STAGE3 is what is STAGE2 now... then soon to be released is STAGE XXX!!

Seriously your comparing 1's, 2's, and etc and saying 2 is better than 1 because it's a higher number. Fact is an IC turbo kit at 7psi should be side by side the STAGE 2 SC. So less boost but still same power...hmmm maybe that is why a turbo at 10 psi puts out way more power than the SC at 10psi. Interesting huh? ROCK should change the names of his products in order to capture more business since some people say STAGE 2 SC at 222whp/218wtq is better than a STAGE 1 Turbo that puts out 215whp/228wtq at only 7psi compared to the SC's 10psi. Man the facts are amazing here... well some people just like bigger numbers and like to pay for them. That's cool as they'll be pimpin their 10psi kits and i'll be pimpin mine... only difference is i'll be the one in the lead!!

Right on boe and plus the SC is only cheaper as of right now because its their so called group buy. the RRM IC turbo is actually around the same price right now till like June 1st or something. I believe its 3899 which is right around the same price.

Boe also makes anothre valid point of how you do kind of get more bang for your buck with the turbo with only 7psi the numbers are almost equal to the SC at 10psi

you can be in da lead as u say...as i recall in the rrm sale thread...u were saying why is SC is being mentioned in the the thread and being upset about it...at least u can do the favor about doing the same in this thread...if u have a few issues and u want to discuss it...u can go through PM's and etc.... rippmods and rrm are both respectable companies... and let them sell thier products

True they are but when you compared the two companies then that opens it up for me to say something about them as well. I'm not going to go post crazy here just ensure that if you state something about a company that it is backed by truth. That is all i want is the truth. RIPP is a good company and i've said that for a while... what i've been defending/justifying is that many of you are looking at Stage #'s not actual outputs and comparing pricing of kits that are not in the same class. Ripp's stage 2 is RRM's intercooled kit numbers wise in both price and power. Only difference is what you want to see under the hood. I'll admit RIPP's polished kit is nice to look at but for 300 bills i don't think its worth it. I think for the GB RIPP should throw that in for free That would make the deal a lot better IMHO!! What do you think zoo?

Exactly, I have not mentioned in a while anything bad abour RIPP, infact for a long time i wanted a supercharger, utill i did some research. But exactly like what boe said, if you start talking and comparing companies just get ready for someone who supports the other to come and chime in. If you guys just want to talk about the supercharger continue, but once that RRM is brought up again be ready for the RRM people to start talking again.

i cant wait to see what happens at the track when rrm's turbo kit is lined up against Ripp Mods stage 2 supercharger. this argument about which is better is going to continue for ever. i think only way to find the outcome is to race both products against each other.

well me n boe plan to race... hopefully be mid summer, but it wont be far, cuz i am going to be running a stock setup compared to all the stuff boe has done to his car. The only reason we are going to go run is to see how well the Supercharger compares to his setup.

im not sure how much u guys think boe has done to his car, but its really not all that great, and compared to what you guys said your stage 2 kit is/should be better than the RRM stage 2 and what numbers boe has pulled which i believe was about 230whp ish? I dontreally remember.

and plus "your kit has 2 pages of stuff that comes with it"
