Any word on when the X-Charger will be released?

I have not heard anything on this forum lately on when the X-Charger will be released. I keep checking the website but nothing on the site about the release of the unit.

+1 I check there often too, still see nothing.
I also read on another forum that someone put in an order for one. (Don't know if he got it yet)

I admit, I'm in no position to purchase a S/C right now, but I'd still like to see the competition between them all.

imo...the x-charger isnt worth the money because its just a few hundred less than a vortech or pc and you can pull out 20 more rwhp and a greater number of tourque out of those. The only plus to the x-charger is the low end power..plus theres no cooler for it...but last i heard they were taking pre-orders for the kits..this was about a month ago.

Although I understand what you mean, (which is true), if I were to ever go F/I I'd still like the X-Charger.
I have no intentions of ever running the track, (maybe once or twice just to open her up).
Its very safe and reliable, with the easiest install aswell. A nice unit with on demand power for everday cruising.

But I will say that the price is just a little high though.

chrisc · 08-14-2006, 04:01 PM

fazm · 08-14-2006, 04:48 PM

the hipo kit i dont understand, but it only makes < 20 more hp than the 7psi kit.... so whats the point? 2 more psi, and an intake, and ur only gettin < 20hp?

i think so. 258rwhp or whatever it was.... and im making near 215-220rwhp N/A... i really dont see it worth it. I think afixer's best 1/8th time is in the 8.9 range (dont get me wrong, thats good) but i ran a 9.311 in arizona. On good gas at sealevel i could get that down to a 9.2 or 9.1....

I mean ya its a good kit, but its very overpriced. 3k, they would sell left and right, because if thats how much they were, i know tons of you guys would have one, and id consider it.
