The fact that no one has this blower and is raving about its prowess tells me it is nothing special. The fact it is a centrifugal (with all the lag of a turbo and the parasitic loss of a supercharger) only puts the idea to rest for me.

I was down at W2W the other day and looked at that system, the way Kurt described it to me was the system is more geared towards older gentlemen with escalades who don't want their wife to know they've got it. Not really designed to be ***** out and it's very quiet.
