I was so excited I immediately PM'd Whipple asking when they were shipping, thinking 30 HP for $200. Now I see this and am like damnnnn, no way paying $4K. Maybe they will offer a core charge....but then that shipping charge is going to be killer. Paid $20 to ship the snorkel that weighed a few pounds. Can just imagine the cost of the entire upper half of the blower....blah

I feel like there isn't much of a market for just the upper, is there? I mean hell I see the 2.3L TVS blowers off the 13/14 GT500 still go for $700+ sometimes.

If someone can save $1000-$2000 on a kit then a market will be there. That puts the price point closer to the lowest power adder.

Very true. I may actually consider if it I can pass along the upper. Lol. Hell it only has 10K miles on it.

As Whipple said, there will definitely be a market for it. Someone else asked about selling the Upper, and what it would be valued at. Obviously its up to the seller, but I would think you should be able to get at least $2500-3000 for it. That would put you out around $1000 plus labor for 30+ HP, then allow whomever purchased your Gen2 unit to get into a System for around $6-6,500.

I'm seriously interested. Curious to see some numbers on just the base Stage 2 kit with the G3 housing and rotors.

For new blowers never installed I would think whipple could do something for you.

This seems more geared towards high hp builds and new customers. If this were available 5 months ago I would have jumped all over it.

Great option for new customers. My opinion is not worth 3900 bucks unless you sell your Gen 2 for close to 2500. I don't see this making too much difference unless your going up in boost, kinda how prochargers X series are more efficient up top compared to current head units.
