I'm still holding my breath. lol

It would be nice to have a Duratec supercharger kit out there but I just see F2 having the same BS as with their turbo kit with the tuning issues and so forth. If it was me, I'd wait to see if it's legit and see if it really is going to work before going for it. Ricardo has pretty much ruined any reputation he had with the turbo kit, he's gonna have to prove it otherwise on the supercharger kit. If it goes at the same speed as the turbo kit, expect a kit by 2012.

I'm not just saying this because I have the FSWERKS kit either. I've bought stuff from F2 before, it's just that maybe Forced Induction just isn't their thing.

Actually not to criticize Bryce but did you ever see Ricardo's Duratec ZX3 that him and his pastor built and was featured in Focus Fanatic? That thing was sick! FI is there thing, maybe they just need a spiritual being involved [hihi]

But I will agree, their customer service could use a little help.

Do you have the link to the thread so I can see if it's the one I'm thinking of? Did it have a flame paint job?

Like I said, I have never had a bad experience with F2... people have issues with other companies too (including FSWERKS whom I have also never had a bad experience with) i dunno, I guess I am just lucky.

That being said, a supercharger for my car would be sick

Yes the Flame'd one. Don't have a link but it's in the Spring 2005 Issue of Focus Fanatic, it's sick

Yeah, IIRC it never made boost and the turbo was purely show. They were about a year into building their turbo kit at the time and low and behold, 4 years later, it's still not all together.... still holding my breath.

Yes Karl, your car would be very sick with a supercharger, I just don't think F2 is up for the challenge. If it was CFM, Mcnews, or Massive, I'd have alot more faith in it.

honestly i dont care who does it but sonmeone needs to. i would be alot more likely to go supercharged than turbo. just because i LOVE the whine and to be honest its not something a ton of people have done......yet.

I agree, if a supercharger had been on the market when I was looking to go FI, I would've considered it. I too love the whine.

That's 3 weeks Ricardo time... count on 3 months! lol

They have a kit together but they SERIOUSLY need to get that tuning issue taken care of. They have no idea how to tune their own kits. Just because the kit is together doesn't mean it works. Look at Mave... he's given F2 the big middle finger and has turned to Tom to get his car tuned. [dunno] If they had it all together, they wouldn't have this issue.
