What's the word on HKS? (Rotrex) Supercharger

I don't need huge power gains. But something significant in terms of power, while still being reliable.. and relatively quiet.
For me, I'd shy away from the first generation of ANY product...

Every vendor does have their crap though...

If that was vortech, then I wouldn't put that on my G.

No, check out this video. You can cleary hear the whining. Very unpleasant. And to add insult to the injury, the Supercharged G lost to the STI. So maybe thats why it was already crying. haha.
I've said it b4, G35 are pigs on the tracks. I laugh at people wasting money trying to get it to go fast. Look at how my TT G's are out there. Yet, not one vid of it winning a drag race. Most of the TT G's end up on autotrader.

i would go with vortech, stillen whines to loud imo...
..you could have evenly matched cars or for ex: tt g vs modded sti... and the g could lose for many reasons: weak tune, bad launch, driver sucks... its endless and that alone doesn't necessarily mean going tt on a g is bad

hey guys, sorry i have been busy. the HKS supercharger sounds crazy!! very very cool sound , with a turbo sounding blow off valve when you let off.
as far as the power, it is on par with other systems and boost levels. the kit is very very clean and will be approved and on the market very soon..
