Try dealing with Procharger if you had one 
Then in that case this customer service does suck with in reguards to the post....just my opinion. Not everyone goes to a shop and get there items,work installed. I like to work on my cars.
But anyhow sorry for getting off the topic...I cant wait to see more out comes on this kit.... as far as 300.5 been enough...it was mention but youll get used to that and want moreeeeee lol. Thats the things about boost....lol

If you do it your self you cant get the HKS GT Supercharger, you only can get it at a Prodealer, you cant just buy hks online and have it shipped to your house, maybe you can i dont know? Correct me on that if I'm wrong, cause even only 6 places in the whole California are allowed to tune the hks engine management and gtm is one of the best. But in this case, hks is still good customer service, i seen much worser cases, thats what im trying to say, calling in and getting a call back later is not something new, i seen it where they dont even call back at all.

I think im one of the few who will probably take a chance on aftermarket turbo's here in SoCal. California takes smog very seriously, even if the modification itself still passes smog

HKS makes great stuff but this doesn't even have the potential of the vortech kit, which is really the only viable substitute other than turbo. Over priced and will undoubtably be whored out by the pro-dealers and there will probably be a lot of disapointed people with it because of that.

Haterz like u, only make the game sweeter. The limits of the HKS kit, haven't even been reached yet. The HKS blower is more efficient and quieter than the Vortech (haha!
). Upgrade potential on the HKS is there, especially with GTM making custom pulleys and doing their homework on how to make more power than what is out of the box.There's nothing special about the Vortech kit and the recent qc issues and recall doesn't make it more appealing. Have fun with your Vortech when the bearings fail and I'm sure ur in really really good hands with RA

It's more than simple.

So would the HKS Hi-Power exaust be good enough for this kit or it would be too restrictive? Im guessing exaust temperature and backpressure must not be so hot because you are excluding the heat that a turbo would bring to the system... I like superchargers simply brillant! The HKS Combo would sound great to me..
