Question
Isn't VFEngineering based in Orange County....I think in Anaheim, CA?
http://www.vfengineering.com/

I went to their website, and they don't have a supercharger kit for X5 3.0i

However, they do carry supercharger for X3 2.5i/3.0i and X5 4.4, 4.6i, & 4.8i

lol~ spending 8k to supercharge 3.0, you can trade in your 3.0 and get a same 4.4 used for about 5k more.... sorry~ but it just seem to make more sense to me...

That's the problem. It only make sense if the whole thing cost less than 5K out the door. Else, the 4.4i makes much more sense since it would definitely be much more reliable than a supercharged 3.0i as well.

Right, unfortunately they do not have anything for the 3.0. They are working on the X3 kits.

All VF kits come with a full 3 year/unlimited mileage warranty.

But, it would be neat to see a 4600-4800 lbs SUV to keep up with those cars and if you can drive as well as Hayaku, you could out handle those cars especially with the RE Camber Plates.

However, I haven't seen any V6 Camry do 0-60 mph in 6.5seconds? Honda & Cobalts and Neons, maybe.....

According to their website, the superchargers are still in development. Any idea when it will become available?
