I wrote an quick email and got a response, which I am sharing here:

I wonder how your product would work under my circumstances. I am
looking for a modest boost for street purposes. Any information you
might have and pricing would be invaluable.

I AM WELL VERSED IN THE 215 BUICK/ROVER, AND HAVE BUILT SEVERAL HIGH HP VERSIONS--BOTH 3.5, 3.9, AND 4.4 LITER WITH THE 300 ALUMINUM HEADS AND CRANK IN IT. OUR 2006 MODEL (ESC-550) WILL BE PERFECT.

HERE IS SOME INFO:


OUR 2006 MODEL ESCH WILL BE AVAILABLE IN 60-90 DAYS. IT WILL GIVE 5 PSI BOOST ON ENGINES UP TO 6.0 LITERS, OR UP TO 15 PSI ON SMALLER ENGINES. THE UNIT WILL BE $1995 FOR THE SUPERCHARGER AND CONTROLLER. IT WILL FEATURE A HIGH EFFICIENCY MOTOR CAPABLE OF UP TO 25HP AND A DIGITAL CONTROLLER ALLOWING THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TO ACTIVATE IT, AND EITHER KNOB ADJUSTMENTS OR LAPTOP PROGRAMMED CONTROLS FOR THE RPM, IT COMES ON, ETC. THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL $500 IN BATTERIES, CABLES, ETC REQUIRED. THIS DESIGN IS ULTRA-HIGH-TECH, AND WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE PERFORMANCE WORLD BECAUSE THE MOTOR IS 90% EFFICIENT MEANING THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO HEAT LOSS (STANDARD MOTORS ARE 50%-65% EFFICIENT). WE ARE MAINLY DEVELOPING IT FOR RV OWNERS AS WELL AS PICKUP TRUCK OWNERS FOR TOWING. THE COPPER-CORE MOTORS HAVE AN OPTIONAL FAN-COOLING SYSTEM FOR EXTENDED USE (LIKE AN RV PULLING A GRADE ON A MOUNTAIN FOR 10 MINUTES, ETC). INSTALLATION WILL BE QUITE SIMPLE. I AM PLACING YOU INTO A FOLDER FOR NOTIFICATION ONCE IT IS READY.
