So considering I'm looking to supercharge by the end of year, I'm looking for a pre owned kit so I don't have to drop full MSRP on a new kit..

I really like the ESS kits (more so then VF) but it seems like everyone is selling VF kits and I don't see an ESS kits as much as the VFs..

Any comments or opinions on why this is are welcome.

VFs are cheaper, so they're probably more apt for impulse buys. If you read the for sale ads, most buyers give reason for sale.

Do your research, VFs are the way to go if you want to achieve great results for as little as possible.

I see where this is Gona end up.
Ess is good. Vf is good, it has cheap upgrade option utilizing same manifold. That
Being said I received pricing on ess kits and they are the same price to upgrade as Vf excluding the manifold. (I guess higher markup for vf). Considering ess rules this forum 70 + ess sc members, Vf sc 30 members, aa between 10 -15 members you won't get a real answer as to which is better but an answer to which is more popular. Besides. If u want cheap unit Tom at eas has a vf540 forsale for 4500. Besides ,I can only tell u that my kit is the best .

Yes, he might want to save for that VF620 which his heart is calling out for and will not be disappointed.

How come the EAS car jumped ship from VF? Seems like some bad juju went down or perhaps they just wanted a change?

That's definitely what I need to do.. Once I'm ready to buy, I'm going to have to find some locals with supercharges so I can take a ride in One.
