Actually expect price increases to spread in the industry. This is part of the reason why I got the Super Shaker NOW because I figure with what's going on if I don't get it now I never will.

I was hoping at some point to whipple my car, but this just makes the whole idea even more pie in the sky.

Not necessarily that much but expect increases soon. Increases will depend on each individual manufacturer and their marketing plan. So increases will vary.

This news sucks..... Another thousand really puts this blower out of reach for people as if it wasn't expensive enough already.

All SC's will go up. Before the Whipple and KB were priced the same...I'm sure when the dust settles all SCs will be priced as they were before in regards to each other.

Such is the economy...if someone told me back in the 70s that a car that costs 5k will cost 35k in 30 years, I woulda probably boycotted buy a car. Such is life.
