I got to finally see this buggy in action at hill climb it looks to be super light with BIG HP! I forgot to ask the total weight? I haven't forgot about the little wager lol.

Little, that's right. Did you ever weigh it Terry? And where do you want that dollar sent to??

geez this thing is sweet!! I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it absolutely rips??? :? How is the Ecotec twin screws torque as far as right off idle? I've been in some Kenne Bell cobras with twin screw blowers and they pretty much have full boost right off idle if you throttle it. I'm wanting to go ecotec, but this makes me want one even more

I would have went Ecotec this year If only the Kennedy adapters were a lot more reasonably priced... Is it just me or is it ridiculous to give as much for an adapter as what you give for a complete Ecotec???

There are other options. For example, try to build your own. I think you would quickly find they are more reasonably priced than you think.

It is not ridiculous at all, it only demonstrates what a great value Ecotec horsepower is. An adapter should last a lifetime, not a lot of things you buy can do that. American made + material + engineering + quality craftsmanship = bargain

^yup yup. I went quad4 which is an iron Ecotec. I bought a whole car for less than the adapter! Took me about a year to commit, but that's just my ADD.

Not going to totally disagree with you, givin from what I've seen of your bad ass fabrication skills if an adapter was easily made I'm sure you would have did it yourself. But, if I had the dimensions and could see one of the adapters in person I'm pretty confident I could come up with something. I work in the Engineering Dept at Nemak automotive die cast company, but the plant I'm at we are strictly a CNC machining facility with around 40 CNC's. I'm not one of the CNC tech's or programmers but have several buddies I'm pretty confident in that could write a program if they had all the measurements. But I see what you're saying about machining one yourself opposed to buying a finished, guaranteed, ready to bolt on adapter. I just can't swing spending that kind of change right now for an adapter, guess that's why I haven't made any initiative towards doing an ecotec swap...Well that and a lack of free time with a 1 month old son!!!
