Yeah just seemed like one of those things, where it was a "hey we can do it", but the practical dollar/ benefit ratio just isn't there for most to make it a worthwhile venture on a widespread enthusiastic level.

So nobody has any follow up information on this since 2010? The group buy thread is invalid but I was able to find this 6 year old video on YouTube posted by Gary which shows it installed on an 08.

Didn't seem to work out for the supercharger application failing like that and seemingly scaring everyone off instantly, but for the NA guys this seemed like one of the most promising mods-- especially DBW guys who basically can't do ITBs with any practicality. For someone who has done the full range of NA power adds but still wants every last bit of power, this could still make sense at roughly $100/hp which is really no more expensive than other NA power adds, especially a stroker motor build. And if you've already got sunk cost in the form of EMS and supporting mods then the value ($/hp) quotient that people are evaluating starts to make more sense.
