That 1/2 Big Gulp is probably worth the 9lbs.

Hey Longboard (and other El D head owners), would you please take a look at this thread and post up: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=101284

I've been wondering about this, but didn't want to derail this thread (if that's possible at this point ).

Why do we fix it when it ain't broke?

I do this all the time.

Bob, where did you get the 225 whp dyno done?

Will you take it back there to see the delta?

Looking forward to your reports!!!

oooo...I can't believe you just did that in this thread... Seriously, I'm a big believer in the DFIC design...I think however there's room for improving this design like adding leading edges inside and out for power thirsting nutcases like us...

I still have the DFIC. We used another car for the fitting part of the R&D. All the parts are mild steel for now. If everything works the way we hope after testing, the production pieces will be made from cast aluminum and or silicon hoses. It might be running by Friday . I dropped my car off at 11:00 and it was torn apart and ready for the new stuff by 12:30.

God I love this stuff.

It's a Rotex supercharger setup. Jan was showing off pics at MOTD. It should be another excellent development from RMW.
