Holy ****. That's really, really amazing. However, the thing I'm seeing, is that you all ran that on a manual HSV, and the G8 GT won't have a stick untill early next year.

That's right, our G8 has a stick trans though I reckon the twin turbos with the auto trans will be awesome..............faster over the 1/4 than the stick car.

I'll have firm pricing within the next week................I'd guess that the MSRP will be around 6k plus ther cost of door to door air freight. I will offer a special introductory release price (discounted price), more on that soon.

And I know you've gone to the trouble to get a CARB number so us California folks can get your kit and pass smog, right??

I second that, I was going to ask if its CARB legal but I dont think any of their products are? Maybe we will have to go STS.

The short answer is that we don't plan on any CARB EO number though the twin system should easily pass the federal IM 240 hot engine emission test with an efficient set of cat converters.

I think I may shell out for a loan and buy one of these before I even get my G8.. Also; these won't work on the V6, will they?

I know, I was joking, just didn't add the smiley...

This is how I feel about the situation here -

Great kit, wish we could partake.

Generally our FI options in CA for most LS engines are STS kits, vortech, magnachargers... and one more supercharger I cant remember. Most if not all of the kits they make are CARB legal.

If you know where to go and can pass the sniffer... lets just say for a little extra they'll be willing to overlook the visual. There's bound to be somewhere down in So Cal that does that too, with all the ridiculously-modded cars down there.
