    With all the pancakes flying back and forth over superchargers recently (Sprintex, Rotrex, and Kotex), the folks at Whore-izon have apparently taken it on themselves to introduce their own variant.

    This baby makes a whopping 50 WHP right out of the box, and rather than replacing your own SC and dealing with nast core charges, it plugs right in! Best of all, it's an "on demand" supercharger--when you don't need it, it doesn't kick in, thereby reducing wear and tear on the engine. But when you need it, it's there, and boy is it there! Just push the handle, and it's like a rush of Nitrous, kind of like a whippet for your car, except without the nasty headache!

    I put this thing in yesterday--intallation took less than 10 seconds--and immediately noticed a 175% in the butt dyno upon activation of the handle! As an added bonus, my hand strength has improved dramatically too!

    Real world true story: There was this red Vespa that was giving me troubles last week (those red ones seem to be particulary quick for some reason), I had (almost) NO PROBLEMS taking him off the line this afternoon, after activating my SC booster. Ok, I did get a little head start, but still, I almost beat him this time!

    They're selling this beaut for an introductory price of $499, but if you hurry now and get in on the group buy, you can have it for $599 (S&H, taxes not included). If you're one of the first twenty buyers, you also get a free inflation needle! To keep costs down, there are no returns or warranties--but with this craftmanship, who needs 'em!

    Pictures don't do this puppy justice, but I took one for everyone's perusal--please, no pm's about your envy and jealousy, just buy one yourself!

    Because mine was only a trial version; I had to return it--I want to get in on a group buy!

    Besides, your sig says it all. You could have had this baby for just a fraction more than your Rotrex. I detect sour grapes....

    Just be glad you didn't get the Kotex SC. It has to be changed once per month.

    Oh yeah, and what day is today?

    You can get any color accents you want!

    All colors, (except for red), are available for an extra 90 bucks. Because red is faster, those cost $125.

    BTW, that gauge on the top is a special gauge never before seen. Better quality than AEM, that's for sure. It's a "Boost Shunt" Gauge (BS gauge for short). I think it could come in real handy!

    This is a car board, take your childish stupidity and go play in traffic instead of posting crap on the boards.

    LMAO!

    Like Nate said, it was an April fools joke, most got it, some didn't....

    I kind of saw what was coming on the whore-izon with the new supercharger, thought I'd make an April Fool's joke, and at the same time try to diffuse what I suspected was going to become another contentious showdown over forced induction, maybe get it lighthearted before the ever predictable rock slinging occurred, both here and on NAM. Didn't work, but what the hell,it was worth a try...

    Fairly certain cct1 has proved himself to anything but stupid, and having him play in traffic would certainly be a loss to the forums.

    LOL

    As for the super pump, ive already got more then i can handle... :ihih:

    Funny thing is, I WAS playing in traffic, and the police requested I post crap on these boards instead.

    I can't win.....

    Sorry for the noob question, but where can I get one of those Kotex superchargers? I want my car to go faster so I can drive flat out at the track. But I want something that will also give me good fuel economy, and those other superchargers are too expensive.

    I apologize in advance if this looks a little rushed; I'm typing this on my iphone, running back and forth across US 41, dodging rush hour traffic. A Miata just ran over my foot, but I think I'm ok.


    The Kotex SC is cheap, but remember, it must be replaced monthly, or you risk TSS (Toxic Supercharger Syndrome). It's easy to change though, just pull on the string, it pops right out. And it comes with a handy gentle glide applicator, which really makes replacement easy!

    But the nice thing is it comes in light, medium, or heavy duty, depending on application.

    You can find them pretty much at any convienent store, usually between the automotive and hygiene isles.

    Damnit, gotta run, just got clipped by a Hummer, that's going to be a trip to the ER...
