NEW INFO ON THE RIPP SUPERCHARGER., THE DREAM IS STILL ALIVE! Options

[ROMANO]

TO ALL 6 GEN GT OWNERS AUTO OR MANUAL

I SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE ENGINEERS AT RIPP MODIFICATIONS HIS NAME WAS RAY. YES IT'S TRUE ABOUT THE SUPERCHARGER BEING DISCONTINUED,BUT ONLY TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. THEY ARE WILLING TO BRING THE PROGRAM BACK TO LIFE IF WE CAN COME TOGETHER AS A GROUP OF 5 ENTHUSIASTS THAT ARE ONLY WILLING TO GAIN POWER THROUGH THE SUPERCHARGER.HE ALSO SAID YOU MUST BE PRICE COMMITTED, KNOWING THAT IN ORDER TO ACHEIVE THIS GOAL IT WOULD COST NEARLY 4,500.00 US AMERICAN DOLLARS ON EACH OF OUR PART. AND OF THAT 4,500.00 G'S YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUT A 1,000 DOLLAR DOWN PAYMENT.SO THIS IS WHAT YOUR LOOKING AT AS A GROUP- 5 INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO SPEND THAT AMOUNT, EACH PERSON PUTTING A 1,000 DOLLAR DOWN PAYMENT AND THEN FOLLOWING THROUGH.5 PEOPLE EQUAL 22,500 DOLLARS 5 PEOPLE TO PLACE A 5,000 DOLLAR DOWN PAYMENT. BEING THE FIRST GROUP TO HAVE A SUPECHARGED WRECKING CREW PRICELESS.NOW IM NOT SAYING THIS IDEA IS THE BEST OR MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAY- WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT THIS IS THE ROAD LESS TAKEN TO OZ.WE DO KNOW OF THE ENGINE SWAP AND TURBO, ALL IM SAYING IS THAT A SUPERCHARGER STILL EXISTS AS A LIVING AND BREATHING DREAM. IT'S BEEN SLEEPING FOR 2 YEARS FROM BEING DISCONTINUED, ONLY TIME WILL TELL WHEN IT WAKES UP AGAIN.

Lagos, stop trying to pretend I'm an idiot, and don't know anything about anything. You know I know the RIPP kit isn't that simple.

I was trying to give an example of an install and forget item.

A RIPP SC is not going to be an install and forget item, and I think it's a dumb kit, way overpriced, etc.

But saying: ZOMG, THE KIT WILL BLOW AND YOU ENGINE WILL BE DESTROYZORSSS is not correct either. Installed properly and used at what, the 8 psi they want you to use? the kit isn't going to do anything bad. RIPP kits have been out for a while, and are used on more than a small share of track cars, etc.

If the RIPP kit ****s up and stops working, you can take off the kit. If the engine blew, the engine would have probably blown without the kit. If the 3sgte stops for any NUMBER of reasons, your car is dead in the water until you, or a mechanic who is intimetly familiar with your car and your 3s swap, gets in there, and tracks down the problem
