    It's AUD though so 10% off versus USD

    Our 'kit' was AUD 3300 without the SC. We sold 8 in the end
    The answer is more power! What was the question?

    Which kit are you referencing? The Alpine kit or the one linked above?

    We (C-Red Tuning here in Perth WA.......that's Western Australia WA not Washington WA ) got Alpine to do a small rerun of the major parts for us to suit the MP90 SC, and made up 'kits' that bolted on to our Jackaroo (your Trooper) which came with the 6VE1 in its last years of sale

    I hear ya. Still sounds painfully steep to me since it isn't a full install kit, but I have seen Ford heads here in the states up up to $10k for blower kits (always Kenne Bell). I guess it all comes down to who has the $$ and and is willing to spend it.

    I got the complete Alpine kit back around 2002 for $3300 (US) IIRC, w/ the upgraded pulley (6psi).

    In any case, not hatin'. At least there is another option out there.

    Yeah, the Alpine kit was well priced! When I talked to John Conchie, the original Alpine contact, he said they lost $ on every one they sold!
