Just listing it was a technicallity. It's actually been available for the last several weeks. In fact there are already two installs on the CL board that were done about 2 weeks ago.

34-40 hp doesn't seem too impressive. considering the icebox alone is good for aprox 10 hp. but it seems like the easiest way to break the 300 hp mark with i/h/e

Am I missing something? That is for the CL, not the TL. Maybe it fits, but it doesn't say its for the TL.

Since it's for the auto, then it should fit in the TL/TL-S.

Yup, they're the samej (CL & TL). Oh and be on the lookout for an ECU piggy back from Comptech for the auto supercharger that will bump up the output even more!!

And for those comparing HP, don't forget about torque. The torque is even more important since that's what gets you going. The torque increase on the S/C is what is killer. Not convinced, get in touch with Red Rider for some comments on his S/C

Yeah .. but the icebox tested at 10hp w/ the 6-spd .. no one really has a dyno of it on an auto ...

plus .. yah gotta look at the whole torque/hp curve to appreciate where the headers help over the airbox... while the icebox helps up high .. it also adds "some" midrange...

considering the icebox is $300.00 for 10hp .. and the headers are $1100 for 30 hp .. i don't see the big problem ..
