Would love to get in on a reduced cost preorder, but not interested in a tuner version, eta on some love for the canned tune version?

sorry, but polish would completely ulgify this setup. As it looks now (clean, almost oem-look), is perfect... polish on your own dime

Function > Form

That was kind of his point. Take it to a person who can polish it if you want it polished...

Knowing rotrex , they will probably void the warranty if you polish the supercharger body...polishing the compressor housing is probably ok.

For those entertaining suck activities, you may want to contact rotrex directly

Jackson Racing is the Rotrex distributor in North America; they can answer any and all questions you have about warranty.

I like the layout of this kit the best out of the 3 rotrex. Very interested in seeing some 3rd party results!

**IMPORTANT NOTE!:
the cost of the tuned options will be available next week...because the tuned/tuning options will be sold in addition to the base kit (at a discount), it makes sense to place your order for the base kit now and then add on the tuning options at the time of fulfillment (shipping)

Mike-
No offense, but your assertion that Jackson Racing is THE north american Rotrex distributor is PATENTLY FALSE! They are 'a' distributor among a network of rotrex distributors, of which Kraftwerks is the largest in North America by sales volume and operational size. we would appreciate you redacting your misinformation as well as refraining from further thread jacking the KW thread with little JR insertions. things can get ugly real fast in this thread if you continue to speak out of turn regarding what Jackson is or isnt.

Wasn't Kraftwerks formed by Jackson Racing originally? What's the full story behind that? Something bad happened and they broke up and now it seems there is a grudge between the two companies now and they are competing against each other directly.
