Aren't those the new whipple chargers that are suppposed to give you about 2psi of boost? That doesn't really equate to a 50HP increase in any engine I can think of but hey, for $60 it can't be too bad. My buddy had a prowler and he was talking about putting one on his 3.5L after he got beat by my old blue farm truck.

3500 for vartech divided by 50 for each blower = 70 blowers at 15hp each means you could of had a 1050 hp boost for the same money don't you feel like a fool LOL

One in the intake, and one in the exhaust, relieves backpressure. That's sweet.
