Works great. Lots of power. Extra exhaust flow seems to overwhelm the Cats though. Cat efficiency codes occur intermittently.

I am removing the cats , i have already a Tubi exhaust...
I was considering a supercharger but I think the cost is too HIGH , compare to other applications , I have a GTS Viper with a ROE Racing supercharger( Cost of the kit approx $10,000 with stand alone computer and water methanol spray) And twin turbo Gallardo (approx $20,000).....

Sorry, just picked this up. We are working with an Eaton TVS 2300 charger. We are also using an intercooler unlike the design our previous partner utilized. I don't want to go into too much detail until we get a little closer but I hope to have a comprehensive announcement in about 4-5 weeks. We also anticipate a much lower cost due to the fact that the project is fully under our control.

Stuart, I know I'm sort of out of this conversation but will the new SC work with the 4.7 as well as the 4.3? If so, will the performance be better? I have a friend in my circle with a 4.7 hankering to make some modifications.

You are way off with the TT Gallardo price! You can double the price with some change for a built motor TT install! I would know because I had one.

Of course if you install a kit from Underground racing prices starting at $35,000 up to more than $100,000, but my kit was done on a stock internals ...........

Might be 1 or two minor changes but yes this should work with the 4.7, pretty much out of the box. I would expect to see slightly better performance, but only by the same margin that the 4.7 already has over the 4.3L...

I have a hard time believing that you paid 20k for a installed TT system on your Gallardo. Even if it was bolt on. Who sold you the kit Heffner, UG? Let's get back on topic, this thread is about a SC for a Vantage!
