Just purchased the Twinscrew kit!
One piece of advice. Conservative tune.
You're married?

wow, 3000 dollars for 20 horsepower!!! you can make close to 300 wheel on a stock blower with proper tuning and the methanol setup you already have. what do you do for a living? you must be a rocket scientist or something to be willing to spend that much money for such a small increase in power. not trying to be a smartass but you already made some great choices on modding your car, so why have you chosen to go this route for so much more money and so little gains?
its really not any of my business but i'm merely curious.

whatever happened to people doing research before making a statement? twin screw blowers are less efficent in the lower rpm's and it takes a little more power to turn them. people are getting all psyched up because of the impressive numbers people make on mustangs and cobras with kenne bell blowers and such. the difference is that we have a small displacement four cylinder and the mustangs have v8's with over twice the displacement. so because of the difference in displacement, the motor isn't really affected by the more power it takes to turn the blower in lower rpm's thus yielding ridiculous gains. i do not see this setup ever making more than 320 without serious engine modifications.

Why would you need 'serious engine modifications' to yield more than 320hp? makes no sense to me....

Well, I could sit here and argue all night long on this lovely theory, but the true tuner would actually know that it's not all about the numbers for one. At least not the numbers you're looking at. I'm looking at displacement 1.0L vs 1.2L and the increase in CFM's I get from that per revolution. The thermal efficiency is also another benefit, but hey you just stick to your guns bro. I'll do the testing and tuning with all my add-ons and we'll see what blower really shines in the end. Not to mention the fact that we've barely scratched the surface with the amount of CFM's this thing has the potential to put out. In fact the only reason I didn't go turbo for the extra CFM's was the fact I wanted to keep my car a SUPERCHARGED Cobalt! To each his own I guess.
Agreed... I don't think I would purchase this for no reason. More flow, cooler temps, more HP/tqlbs
It takes 2000hp to turn supercharger drag cars, but you don't see them complaining about robbed hp. Who cares about 10 hp...
This is only the beginning of power yet to be unleashed by this twinscrew!

whenever i win the lottery i'll be going turbo with my mods and we'll see who makes more power across the rpm band.
As far as the turbo argument goes, we all know an adequately sized turbo will outperform our twinscrew. I don't hate turbos considering my Integra in my sig has a nicely matched 16G on it and the entire kit was fabbed by myself. Plus, it hauls some serious a$$. To each his own though.
Sorry if you took offense to me calling you bro. I'm from New Hampshire orginally and we use that as a friendly term. But if you prefer Vince, my name is Billy.

thanks a lot. and this kit doesn't come with the 60lbers right? also, the tune they used with hp tuners is extra? how much extra? sorry for the questions, it's just that my searching isn't coming up with these answers.
