Anyone know how much it will be when it comes out before my car starts to rust and hit 1,000,000 miles.

Supposedly around $6k. I have emailed them many times, and they are always...
willing to give info about it.But, they haven't emailed me back since I asked them about my trans two weeks ago...I just wanted to know how they dealt with the Tip trans in our cars (namely durability, w/4XX ft lbs of Tq coming from the SC unit... :P )That is, if they addressed that issue at all. Who knows...

Are they developing C5 supercharger, or C6? If C5, what's taking so long, and will it even happen?
I would love to get my car in the 400+ HP territory, and I keep reading that PES is working on a system, however, it appears to be either on hold indefinitely, or they're working on it very casually.
And good point about the transmission. It can barely handle 300 lbs-ft of torque, what will it do with 400+?
Also, what's the weakest point in the transmission? If it's the valve body, will something from Level 10 be able to handle the torque?
Is the S/C holdup due to transmission issues?

Don't hold your breath....
By the time it happens, if ever, your car will be worth less than the cost of the conversion. And a week later, you'll be shopping for a new transmission. If you really want power, find a cheap 6speed 2.7T in need of new turbos, and pull out your checkbook.

Some of us on here don't care about the money aspect of vehicle ownership...
No car is an investment, unless it is rare and super-expensive. Even then it loses some of it's value over time. And if you can afford such a car in the first place, then you obviously have no concern's regarding your financial situation. I'd put $50k into this car if I had it, because that is just who I am. True, I could go out and pick up a 2.7 and mod it, but that would not make me any happier. I bought this car because I wanted to, and I will not sell out in the interest of making a faster car, by being fu**ing pressed to buy something that I don't want :@

Except for the rare few that have more money than they know what to do with...
everyone cares "about the money aspect of vehicle ownership". Your own sig. says " red painted calipers (hey, Brembos are expensive, 
" If you were given $50K right now, would you really spend it all on the car you have?
