When I was looking at the Dinan package it had to be installed by an authorized Dinan shop. The installation cost was based on 27.6 labor hours.
The ESS supercharger kit from KO which is still available is just over $9000.

Wow! I did not know those kits cost that much! I obviously received a fantastic deal from RMS, considering I have a V3Si supercharger rated at up to 22lbs of boost. That’s good for over 700+ horsepower.

I purchase mods based on performance gain per dollar spent. Performance gain is based on how much the 0-60 time improves. The supercharger would have been more than 4 times the cost for less gain in performance.
I finished rewiring all the controls in the console last week. New boost gauge arrived a few minutes ago.

Yes you definitely took a unique approach. You always state 0-60 time improvements. Is it because you are focused on quarter mile performance?
My approach was to create a E53 that is street legal, and that offered a replication as close to the E53 V12 as possible.
