Thanks for the welcome guys, yes Onfire, we may have spoken once or twice 
While it's true these blowers are limited to how much boost/power they will make, they are great for the guys that want a nice, big improvement that's always there when you want it, but keeps that stock like driveability when you don't want to get on it.

What options will be available for this kit?
I believe PSJ mentioned a type that will be able to handle big HP #s (not that 500rwhp out of an MP112 isn't big
) is that still an option?
There will be an intercooled version right?
Can this fit with the stock Trans Am hood (non WS-6 hood)?
Any idea on price range?
Where are you guys located? If you don't want to be specific, then what region (NW, SW, NE, NW, etc...)
Thanks, your kit sounds promising!

the hood isn't a problem with this kit, its the cowl under the winshield. the vette kit which is a different version of this is around 5k i think, so id guess in that range.

Interested in some dyno numbers on both a stock LS1 and head and cam car. It would be nice to have a package that can be bolted on over the weekend and run with the Cobras out there.

Hopefully less, most corvette parts have the "corvette tax"

Birds are major snake predators: not just birds of prey but also little itty bitty birds which eat baby snakes. Some birds specialise in snakes: The Secretary Bird worries a snake to death, dancing around it, stomping on it and throwing it up in the air until it dies. The Road Runner also eats snakes. But these birds eat other things besides snakes. Small snakes are vulnerable to other bigger carnivorous or omnivorous creatures. Even spiders eat small and juvenile snakes, some have venom to kill small pit vipers. Snakes eggs are also relished by many.
The most efficient and widespread predator on snakes is humans. We have killed more snakes and destroyed snake habitats than any other snake predator.
Most harmless snakes put off predators by releasing a foul-smelling mixture of musk and faeces from their cloaca. They may wipe the stuff all over their bodies by writhing in coils. The stuff doesn't just smell bad, it also tastes vile and is long-lasting. Most venomous snakes don’t stoop so low.

Wow, I watch animal planet all of the time and never knew that part about the funky smelling/tasting trick!!
As for the supercharger, it doesn't give off any foul smells, except a little burnt rubber.
Thanks for the questions regarding this kit, I'll try to give you a few answers. We do intend to develop a higher HP version after the initial design is released, but at first the focus is on getting the standard kit to market.
It will fit under stock hoods with the removal of a 4"x12" peice of the underhood structure, but it doesn't effect the hoods stiffness,but you will lose your hood pad, and we include a template for marking the cut. We don't know yet about the factory Ram-Air hoods, but are definitely willing to work with the first few customers to fit them for this kit. The cowl also requires a small section to be removed, but the kit comes with a template, and a bond in metal replacement panel to box off the hole, and seal it from the elements. We also include some other special parts that make it all work together, so when the box arrives, you have everything you need, and clear, step by step instructions.
Unfortunately, this kit is going to have to be roughly the same price as a Corvette kit(since that's what we start with!) which is currently around $6K
While this is expensive, we are willing to add our pieces without raising the price.
Horsepower numbers will be available very soon, as well as 1/4 mile times on our A/T car. As soon as this car is finished, we will start on a stock engined, 6 psd Trans-Am. Any volunteers??
Let me know what kind of other questions people have, and I will try to get you some answers.
