What am I missing here.
you are missing the fact that they are advertising something without having product ready to ship!

After looking at this again the top of the intercooler reminds me of the aliens from Independance Day

They're OK on stock type builds. Maybe a little better than the Maggie with low end power advantages because of the longer runners. Once you get past the low end builds, the long runners on the intake mani become a restriction.

Maggies and GM's blowers (ZR1 and LSA) get to max boost quick and maintain to red line (boost doesn't go up much past 3000 rpm). On higher end builds, the EForce gets to boost quick also, yet continues to build boost as RPM rises. The extra EForce boost you see above 3000 rpm is simply a restrcition because of the intake runners. Compared to a Maggie or GM TVS, HP is down, boost is up, and IAT's are up.

The EForce has its place. As long as you have no inclination to push things a bit, they're fine. If you have visions of bigger power, there are better options.

I haven't heard of anything but the 2300.....I don't listen very close though. To me, if you don't have the need for the low profile (vette owner), there's no reason to consider it.

I think it looks cool and I'm happy to see a little innovation in the standard roots type blower design. Change is good!!!
