Unicorn dust = 4.5Kish once this thing actually gets in the wild.

So here we are.

Know anyone looking for a Vortech kit? No waiting, can ship Monday morning. Contact me.
Hook it up to another car and do a head to head review for us!

Good, the price is plenty fair there is no need to discount it. I like both the Vortech and Innovate kits but that sound and torque of the innovate is the tiebreaker.

This is kinda random and off-topic. Probably also something that has been covered before, so please forgive my ignorance.

I was feeling kinda concerned when seeing the under-the-hood shot of the belt and the pulley. They seemed really close to the hood of the car. Under hard throttle/stress, couldn't the motor twist in ways to potentially make contact between the pulley/belt and the hood? sorry is that sounds stupid, I'm just curious
