It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

I'd like to know as well. I can only put off buying a supercharger for so long.

I wouldn't hold your breathe. It looks like they have disappeared. This is a tough market to make it in and these guys seemed to be pretty green about the whole situation.

If they could have made the kit work it would have been nice. But I don't think they would have hit the 250 HP mark they were wanting to hit at the price range they were looking at and in a bolt-on kit.

There also is not enough of a market. Last time I talked to Greg they were concerned about how many kits they could sell as 10 people had just bought the DASC kit. Greg made it sound like if the DASC GB had not gone forward they would have been pressing hard to still release their kit. They were only looking to sell something like 10-30 kits, and half that market went away with the DASC GB.

It wasn't shady because it's not like they were selling a kit that didn't exist. They were just a small shop trying to make a name with a good product. In the end they were just to slow getting it to market.

To get 250 to the wheels would've cost alot of money.

I know one guy with a DA m42, he's got 260+ to the rear wheels, but he's also got standalone (major money), cams, a crazy custom exhaust, all this crazy jazz.

Yea the kit would've been great, the price maybe not.

I was wondering what happened to SEAM just the other day. They had plans for a very nice ITB set-up.

I speak from experience. Having dealt with SEAM (Greg Scrivner) on a few occasions for various parts, I am now never, ever going to do business with him or his company again even though I got the best prices from him. I don't know how he can stay afloat by ignoring his customers request for parts. Took over 3 months to get my parts. I probably emailed and tried to call guy more than 30 times before I could get a response. I had to talk to his dad before I got response from him. He seems to have some excuse ready, but time and time again, he proves how unreliable SEAM is. I figured this supercharger project of his is just another one of his empty promises.

I'll be looking to SC in the next year. Counting on DA but SEAM would be nice as an option.
