The Novi display was a little lacking for my taste, they needed to disclose some more info and viewing space.
If you are going to display anything on a viper the hood must be removed for the product to be properly presented. All you could really see is a blower sitting in front of the engine, and a strut tower bar. I would like to have seen the pulley setup/intercooler/etc...
The power figures claimed sound like a typical untested kit. Their claim of 35% increase over stock sounds like this kit was never tested on a dyno. When I inquired more into the power, they again fell back on the 35% and had no further info. So in my mind this kit is untested and is not a legitimate contender for any real consideration over a Sean Roe kit, or any of the others that are currently available.

I liked what I saw, but as Russ mentioned, you couldn't see everything you really needed to. I too asked questions about the increase or RWP and torque, but never got a definitive answer leading me to believe it's never been on a dyno. I did overhear the apparent owner of the car say "they" hadn't got the MAP entirely figured out yet so it wasn't running exactly the way it should be.
I truly wonder if this kit will get out the door at the projected $7999. (I seriously doubt it)
I think I'll stick with the Sean Roe blower sytem.
Sean, You got that CARB E. O. numbered kit ready to ship?

Gen I's? Real HP numbers? Real cost?
