Centrifugals are great -- I have had one, but they are nothing like a turbo or positive displacement supercharger in terms of power delivery. If it is all you can afford, though, get one. Still a lot more power than stock and if you wind it up, it will go pretty well.

Oh I know! But again, with a smaller market (how many e9x M's are realistically left in the market that would be willing to spend the money for any kit?), and with a price point that may be much higher than an ESS for example, how many units do you foresee being sold?
I've been holding off on a kit for almost a year due to various circumstances, including potential turbo kits and positive displacement SC's, but from early indications on this kit, it may be cost prohibitive for many of us.
