Very interesting. It all comes down to HP and $$ but this could be VERY appealing to us California kids that have to undue it every two years to pass smog.

Is this a supercharger type of system but like a "lite" version?

haha I don't think it will be a "lite" version. It is a vortech system that they have mentioned will get numbers very close to the twin screw TS 1/2 system that they have.

Maybe peak but you'll never get the low end gains out of a centrifugal supercharger.

Oh i completely agree with you on that one. I even mentioned that to them yesterday. However, due to the fact that a) The manufacturer for the twin screw setup went out of business and ess picked up ALL their stock, so they only have less than 200 units available and then....thats it, twin screws are no more. And b) most lower end systems are using the vortech superchargers now for "cost to dollar bang" (lower end doesn't mean weaker or bad in this case, it is more of a cost per HP type of statement)

ESS can do some phenomenal things with tuning and I think they will be able to pull of some pretty impressive numbers when they are done with this kit. I personally am looking more for the torque numbers than anything else.

"Low cost"

:D I LIKEY. The good thing about using a vortech charger is this. https://jonbondperformance.com/ I know they rebuild mostly the muscle car guys vortech chargers but they are the main guys for rebuilding a vortech charger outside of vortech themselves. My buddy is actually rebuilding his Dinan Vortech e36 supercharger with them since Vortech will most likely say its not rebuildable.
