I'm curious about the rear wheel HP and torque numbers before and after. I bet a JK is in the 160 HP range at the rear wheel, maybe less with an auto, before the SC install.
Again, I didn't see any concrete number claims. Also, is premium fuel required? Is there a mileage improvement? Toyota SC's improve mileage but require at least mid-grade fuel.
I'm getting decent mileage currently. Since I have a manual a hemi swap won't include the MDS - so I wouldn't get the 20MPG some people have been saying. Also, the swap is about $10K. Under $4K looks like a fun project!

Talked to a guy named Rick at Boostech and he is the distributor.... says I should have mine by the end of the month still..... can't wait....AAAAAAGGHHHHhhhhh!!!!
on another note, I have been looking/monitoring my rpm in daly driving and where i wish i had more power.... my rpm's run in the 1500-3000 range 80% of the time... when crossing a road that i have to punch it to get across from on coming traffic, power doesn't even start until half way across the road... this is in the 2000 rpm range... so i most definitely want power down at 1500.... this is where i think i will love my sprintex, and something a vortex style blower can't do....
