No doubt the Forced inductions units are proven performers over the like sized VSR. So what are the S485's going for? I didn't see them on the website. Are they cheaper than a pair of 78/75s?
Looks like the VSR 88/102 is on sale for $709 now. That does seem like a solid deal. Only seen one car with one and it didn't perform any better than the FI S484 (std 87/96 wheel) it replaced. Still, not bad performance for $709! The 92/103 is also on sale for $950. No experience with one of those.
Singles are proven performers for sure. Folks have gone much faster than I ever will on them. You'll still see less back pressure with a set of 78/75's... I'm kinda hung on that point for performance VS $ spent. Throw a big max effort NA cam in, stay at 1:1 or better w/ back pressure. You'll make more power per pound than you would with a single and a "turbo cam" that has to work around back pressure. Easier to package than 5-6" down pipes, generally better "wow factor" and better resale down the road.
