Default Screw Roots!

Has anyone tried the Dragon Racing supercharger? This thing looks badass and simple. It would work great with stock gears for at least a weekend. Anything, anyone? Thanks!

Many superchargers are so ******* expensive. The bare necessities are still 6k.

Bullshit. They want 6k for the unit by itself. Thats not including fuel, headers, exhaust and that ****. I spent 6k total on my build, maybe a little less. Thats with things like 317s, timing chain, valve spring, etc. included.

Some guy put one on his Vette and it siezed up on him. The story and pics of it are on the vetteforum. It look like a cool piece but there are lack of results out there and the fact that this guys didn't work out I would wait too see some more results from DRE.

I know FI isnt cheap but damn these dudes seem to run pretty high. Even just accessories seem to be fairly expensive.

Better off with a proven system IMO. DR had a C5 system too that never got much traction. I'd be leery.
