I'd get a conventional supercharger instead.
But I would definitely get some sort of FI.

You can buy anything at any price used.
Wasn’t phantom v3 like $2,500 new and then you needed dump batteries so it ended up being $2800+ ?
And now i see tons of the phantoms popping up with failures and issues but the guy who made them is MIA so they’re all paper weights now?
$3,000 for the performance it has compared to a traditional FI kit from a power to price stand point might seem a little steep although not outlandish.
But once you factor in all the supporting mods needed with a traditional FI kit the power to price ratio isn’t really far off.
The torque amp could be installed on an otherwise stock vehicle or added on to a FBO + E85 setup with no other supporting mods like catch cans, oil coolers etc.. needed.
I think it’s a reasonably priced product that fills a gap between NA and full FI. It’s easy to install and quick to remove in a pinch.
