Here ya go. This car was featured in HRM a few months ago. The Rotrex blowers run dead silent so there's no noise. I believe they are set up kinda like an auto trans with a planetary gear set and a sun gear. That car made somewhere near 1100 rwhp out a punched LS2.

This way you can retain the look and stealth of the Cooper with having the power of a stock S but with a lighter weight car.

I would love to be a guinea pig haha

I won't be charging the person whose car we use until the job is complete and it works as advertised. If it doesn't work you don't pay.I will be able to give you a base price amount once I get the R53 one completed. The MC will be less expensive because it already has a waterpump and it won't need to be intercooled because it will be only running about 7psi of boost.
