how much potential does this s/c have though? We know that the greddy turbo can be tuned and be able to make 400 whp. Does superchargers work the same? Is it what you see is what you get, or is there still a lot of hp potential?

I guess I missed something....who has a 400whp turboed 8? I am assuming you are talking about a 400whp 8.....

This is what they told me over the phone too.

I will try and get another ride in the Turbo'd RX8 - maybe this weekend if I can get a hold of Phil- while the Pettit ride is fresh in my mind. I'll also ask him to really show me what it can do off the line.

Also an far as price, Pettit commented "around $3500" (I thought that's what the greddy MSPR was) I'm so used to not quoting prices from being on AVSforum- (they are pretty strict) I just should have mentioned that up front.

When I called, they said it was just 1 version.

No, the turbo has the potential to push out 400 hp worth of boost, but nobdy has pushed their engine that far. I essentially think that they are saying the engine would blow before the turbo.

Alex is getting his car customed tuned to around that power level using the GReddy kit, and a BUNCH of other goodies. I guess thats what he means?
