The only catch? You need to own a very specific Dodge/Ford/Chevy truck or SUV and are willing to hand it over to Edelbrock for a month or so while they try to figure out how to supercharge it. When Edelbrock is done with your truck or SUV they give it back with a professionally installed supercharger and an extra 100-200 horsepower, I'll take two.

Considering the fact that having a new supercharger installed on any vehicle will cost you $5000-$10,000, this seems like quite a deal.

*have to live in southern California

And does it come with any sort of warranty?

On the bright side: they'll give you a loaner. Really interesting.

So basically they're asking for free test mules in trade for a brand new supercharger kit.
I don't know what to say.

I didn't even notice the line about the loaner, makes this an even better deal.

One can only imagine what the disclaimer looks like.

My dream of a supercharged 4 cyl jeep that I never had until right now is about to come true!

I really can't imagine a multi-million dollar business like Edelbrock returning your car with blown head gaskets and melted pistons but I guess anything is possible.

Shut up and take my keys!

I'm not thinking that so much as the unseen hard motor mileage. Stress on the rod bearings and rings that don't show up until a few thousand miles later, that sort of thing.

Ugh! I have the right truck but too many miles!

This is brilliant, everyone wins! Curious as to why they want to test this on autos only? To remove a variable from testing (possibility of bad shifting)?

302? I think yes > Saf1 01/24/2014 at 23:35

As far as I'm aware, most of the models they want to test only come with autos.

A lot of times when companys devolve products on customers cars the car ends up being awesome though.
