New GTX and RXT questions

[boater4life]

I have a 2003 GTX Limited SC 185hp that I have loved that I am thinking of selling/trading for a new one. In looking at the specs on the GTX 215 and the RXT 255, they appear to be the same engine. What are they doing to the 255 to get the extra hp? Also, how long has the 255 been out and are they having any issues? Finally, it seems whenever you want to but a car, there is tons of info about pricing, invoice, etc. on the net, however, I really have no clue about margin on these new units. Does anyone have any input so I don't get hosed? Thanks for any input.

Aren't the later ones intercooled which allows them to ramp up the boost pressure? I know the kits for the supercharger repair had 2 versions. Intercooled and non intercooled.

Sucks that you are so far away. If you were nearer and the price was good, I would be interested in your sale.
