If you haven't already purchased a DASC, you've missed your chance. Downing Atlanta is now sold out of the last of their stock of Eaton Gen 3 MP62s, Magnuson has discontinued that supercharger and Downing is not interested in investing the time/$ to retool the entire kit for a different supercharger. If I hear any new information from Jim, I'll let you guys know, but it appears to be the end of an era  |  |  | | 04-11-2008, 09:45 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |

used or custom built, but that will prolly cost a little more | | | | | 04-12-2008, 02:55 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Hilliard, Ohio Posts: 122 |
Yes, it is a bummer. I just had three kits ship out to customers and was informed when ordering the third that it was the last one ever. Jim did tell me that understeer.com has sold more DASCs than any of their other vendors, so that was kind of cool though. | | | | | 04-12-2008, 03:13 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 |

dang. bummer. i guess within time they'll be more valuable, in good conditions of course, since there's no more.???
but i suppose it helps those that are fumbling with the questions of DASC or swaps to go ahead with the swaps now. __________________

if you don't want a dasc because you can only buy them used, do you realize that you can only get engines used? something to think about (I'm not planning on getting either so I don't care  ) | | | | | 04-12-2008, 08:53 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
a used dasc wouldnt bother me as long as it wasnt thrashed and sanme with a motor. but i wanna be different and do a unique forced induction!
i should start looking into doing it! __________________
