I hope Hymee gets well soon.
I've been looking at different features on superchargers and turbos, and I must say that I really like the directions that Hymee has went.
1. Like the bypass value.
2. Like the constant boost. He was toying around with 10 PSI at a constant from around 2K to redline. Even the RX-8 Autos will love this as its brake-launch point is 2K.
3. I like the piggy back Motec. Now, I know there are different schools of thought from flashing the ECU to using the Interceptor or Greedy Emanage, but this one makes tuning easy.
A big problem for overseas buyers and some locals, will be finding a qualified tuner. One thing that was interesting about the Blitz supercharger, was you could choose your boost levels and keep your ECU.
With Hymee's method, it appears you don't have to worry about tuning anything or playing with your ECU. The boost will be constat and set at 10 psi and the piggy back motec does anything else extra. Basically, this puts you in a "plug and play" type win-win situation.
Basically we need to know HP and price. I was expecting that after SS9 we would get some answers, but it looks like we have to still wait.
I'm just big guessing (as I don't know), but it would seem he would come in around 70-90 HP gain (based on the type of twinscrew supercharger and 8 to 10 psi) or around 270 WHP (300 HP SAE) or around 220 WHP to 240 WHP (depends on your model of AT and country) for ATs (275 HP SAE). What you get of course depends on your WHP starting point.
Price? Well based on what RP, Pettit, Mazsport, etc... have been throwing around. You would think $5,000 (U.S. dollars) to $7,500 (Just a huge guess).
Still wondering if the final release will let you keep your strut bar?
Also, wondering about the air intake. Will CAI or stock intakes be possible?

Right now oi my mind and heart is torn in soooo many directions on what I wish to save for, for a big purchase for my 8. Mazsport Kit is just awsome from the numbers being put out on your forum but the price is a tad bit hight BUT it seems to have everything you'll need for a install (hence no real hidding price increases). Pettit I dunno havent followed their thread in awhile but it seems that the MT is coming out first and the AT sometime after that (I could be wrong i'm just assuming). Now with Hymee's just a matter of Hp output at what PSI and how reliable it is in the long run. Though I do give credit to Hymee for keeping his mouth shut for the most part about his lol.. as bad as it sounds sometime to little info is a good thing. 
Keeps the air of mystery up in the air.

Hymee's kit will be higher-end....kinda like how Mazsport is right now with the turbos, except it's a supercharger with instant boost to redline. I'd expect great things from this kit. We just need to wait and save that money.

10 psi instant boost is sure to be a big hit. Its why I like going supercharger.
The RX-8 Auto/MT has plenty up top because of its high rev engine. Once your going 100 MPH, you are doing fine. The RX-8 needs LOW END power. Nobody likes to say it, but its 0-60 to 1/4 mile numbers that many would like to see improve. Its not to say the RX-8 should be a drag car. The RX-8 is so much more than a heavy straight line brick, like other cars. Yes, there is more than straight line performance, but 0-60 to 1/4 mile is a standard in which to compare. A good supercharger kit, can give you that quick response and low end bang.
There seems to be something magical about the 8 psi to 10 psi range. Its enough to get good numbers, but not too much to force you to start having to upgrade other parts of your engine right away. There is no such thing as "safe boost" without proper tuning. But these supercharger and turbo threads are showing there is a safer boost range with good tuning.

Who knows? Hymee has kinda disappeared in the last month or so. He seems to be having some health issues, so we're all wishing him well. If you're out there Hymee, we'd love to hear you're doing ok.
