I know you are! Thanks, it might push to really get one. I really want one, I just have to get the wife to approve! Time to kiss some ass!

I'm in the same boat, but have not begin to discuss this with the wife. I'm sure that I'll just tell her after it is done and deal with it then. I hear there is strength in numbers, so maybe we should break the news at a local Phoenix Meet all together? Ha!

nice product, but is come with front mount intercooler? it may cause engine too hot after abuse = =, that will make engine life shorter, Gpower come with intercooler, or just like HPA use water intercooler system, if ESS use water intercooler i will chose ESS exclude Gpower

Looks great Rom3n! Which kit do you have installed on your ride, right now?
I'm still waiting for another ride with the bigger kit -Rich

Just finished some high temp testing on pre-production. Production 600 will be re-installed in the next week or two. |

Air-to-water is OK for street use, but from what I've seen tends to be an issue for track use (unless you have plenty of ice and a few pit stops)... |

Whether you heak soak or not, comes down to how much power you are trying to get out of the motor. The higher up the horsepower ladder you go...the more heat you will generate. If you are pushing your supercharged car to the limit for a long period of time, there is virtually no way to fend off heat soak without resorting to an "ice box" reservoir to keep the IAT temps down. The only way around this, is too over-engineer your coolant capacity and heat exchanger core's ability to reject heat faster than it's being generated. Otherwise...your toast. If the system is property designed and built, you can use a supercharged car at the track without issue. But of course, that is easier said than done in most cases...

Probably a repost but can the M-DCT handle the power?

The M-DCT 7-speed tranny is cabable of handling 443 lb/ft. of torque max. according to the engineers at Getrag who designed and built it.
So with the ESS kit I would say yes, but I'll let Roman confirm this...

Roman has a DCT car, and is one of the test cars. I would say it can handle the power, as it has so far. I am sure it is fine. Luckily, these engines don't make a bunch of torque...kind of lucky I guess.
