whipplecharged,
Judging by your name, you're evidently pretty well sold on Whipple? But I think you've provided us with yet another example of charging extra for a product that is similar except that it is marketed for the Hummer H2... I am not surprised at all. There are probably many such scams out there? If a company can get by with overcharging for its products and people PAY extra for nothing, I guess the equipment manufacturers are only taking advantage of suckers...
Interestingly, not ALL manufacturers practice such business practices and are satisfied with "normal" profits instead of gouging their customers. An example? Mangnacharger (Eaton). The kits for the 6.0L GM SUVs like Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, etc are the exact same price as the kit for use with the 6.0L Hummer H2 engine.
You said:
"There isn't much difference in the kit but it cost more." Don't all of these kits have the same basic components for use on the same basic engines... In fact there is no real difference in these kits is there? For me, at least, that alone is a good enough reason for me to NOT buy a Whipple Supercharger. Maybe I'm just strange--- but I object to these highly questionable pricing tactics.
Comparing apples to apples, if it costs me more for an apple just because I'm going to eat it in my H2, I think I'll just tell the apple salesman to take a hike.
