Firm for now, since I just lowered it and includes shipping. I'll revisit in a couple weeks if it hasn't sold.

Use a photo viewer and zoom. It's clear enough to tell it's not close to 10 psi at 3500 rpm.

This is a bit misleading since you didn't also mention it as a con for turbos. A properly sized turbo makes target boost at an earlier RPM than PD superchargers and present more danger to the rods. ...

Looking at just the charger unit, I'm a big fan of the Edelbrock/Harrop/Cosworth/etc. The TVS 1320 on the Edelbrock is the same blower core used for some OEM mass produced cars (e.g. Audi B8 S4).

Yes, looking for about $2500 in Atlanta area. I'll get the proper pics up soon in the classifieds.

Thinking about a few cars but probably an M3 or C63 AMG for the extra interior and trunk room.

Then why did you ask me why they didn't make a 2800 lb Supra if it's so easy? I already said even the BRZ wouldn't be able to weigh 2800 lbs if they increased hp. Are you just dense or?

220-240 would be fine too. I'll buy the next gen if it makes that stock. It's subjective for sure but 300 hp is far from "just a numbers" game territory for me. More hp is more acceleration in all...

Because an accepted steel treatment technology did not completely solve the problem in your application, it's reasonable to conclude that said treatment offers no benefit at all.
