not to leave this topic, but the only reason MMW isnt throwing a cell is because the bung is already far enough away for the sensors readings.

as matty said, you can use an antifouler on any header to stop the cell.

a header will be needed to move the spent exhaust gases at the correct rate.
the tranny will hold the horsepower without a problem but you will need to upgrade your clutch.

you're saying that the automatic transmission will be able to handle all of that power without a problem? i would think at the very least that a transmission cooler is needed.

I don't see where he said it's ok for an auto tranny. Generally if you're mentioning a clutch, you're talking manual trannies.

i know, i wasnt sure if he was talking about an auto or a manual tranny though
automatic transmissions do have clutches as well, just not ones we can manually touch

i have the great pleasure of living near and being good friends with the owner of RIPP MODIFICATIONS (www.rippmods.com)in N.Y. I was talking to him about possibly fabricateing a supercharger kit for the TC that would give some real hp gains compared to the TRD kit.
The kit would include the following:
Vortech v5 g trim supercharger
A show quality supercharger drive system(look at pics on their site)
Injectors and engine management
All belts, hoses, connectors, connectors pipeing etc.

the stage 1 kit would be good for appx. 260hp @9psi. The horse power would be very usable on a daily driven car and would feel like it came this fast from
the factory without any of the cold start or reliability issues normally associated with aftermarket turbo systems .
All stages to come later would be add on components to the stage 1 kit. so you can add hp as you go.
There would be some options available such as Polishing of the entire system -appx$250
and your choice of silicone connector colors-N/C

It would take 10 units to make this happen and the cost of the kits would be appx. $4000
a 10% discount would be applied to all preorder applicants. making the kit $3600
A $1000 deposit on pre order units would be required. and pre orders would be handled by contract for peace of mind to the pre order applicants.
devlopment would take appx 90 days from pre order finalization and the kits would ship immediately.

Now for those of you who do not know who Ripp modifications is they are currently the
worlds largest 3rd party distributors of vortech suprchargers . They are the initial designer and developers of the supercharger driveshaft system and own all the patents for the design(even for the one used on the TRD system) they have been featured on on ESPN2 and FUNKMASTER FLEX as well as in many publications such as Turbo and high performance and S3(speed style and sound)
Check out the links for video clips and info:

Ross the owner has made the sales and Marketing of this kit our "Baby"
so STREET STEALTH CONCEPTS INC.will be handleing all the pre order and tech questions you may have for this kit .

Feel free to contact us at:
718-874 8536 or email us at csdept@street-stealth.com
we will be posting full info with pics and components shortly on our website
www.street-stealth.com

I have a question. How are you giving specs on a S/C that hasn't been created? You said 260hp @ 9psi this is only 2psi higher than the TRD S/C which is @ 7psi. Now I'm wondering how this unit will create so much more power than the TRD. Truthfully speaking no one will know exactly what the TRD s/c in going to put down until it has been installed and dyno'd. If your S/C will do what you say it will that's cool but it will void the warranty. If someone doesn't care about warranty then why not buy the TRD and change the pully to get the boost to 9psi? I am in NO way suggesting you do this because it would also void the warranty. I'm not trying to shoot this project down just wondering.

if youve visited the rippmods website, you'd see the gains he is talking about come from the supercharger, and an aftermarket header. the ripp SDS system does make more power than the TRD, but it also engineered that way, i think the way TRD engineered their supercharger system was to keep it as reliable as possible, and keeping it emissions friendly (CARB), the RIPP SDS is not CARB legal and makes more boost.

we really dont know what the TRD SC is going to put out, so we cant say the numbers are absolutely outrageous.
