Our recent trip to America's Heartland (Lenexa, Kansas) would not have been complete if we didn't make a stop at the new, and finally real House of Boost (hard-core supercharger-/turbocharger-system designers/tuners, who literally made a name for themselves through their Web site; www.houseofboost.com). As you can see, our visit apparently was a pretty big deal for the "HOBbits."

Once inside HOB's luxo-spacious, 5,000 sq-ft facility, it isn't hard to see why the co-owning trio of Dorian Comeau, Shaun Friesen and Erik Radzins didn't rush to bring their business from the 'Net, into a real-world workspace, located at 11519 W. 83rd Terrace, Lenexa, KS 66214 (913) 788-3900. In a nutshell, the place is a palace, and if you're a Kansas-area (or points far beyond the Sunflower State) member of the 'Stang Nation, it's where you want to bring a Pony if you're interested in upgrading it with a blower, or taking an already boosted ride to whatever "next-level" of forced induction that you, or the HOBbits can think of. A place like this was a long time coming for our boys. Checking in on their new digs definitely made the trip complete!
