Tell us about what kit you used and why you did it. Was it worth it?

Wow. Just looked up the kit. Impressive. How has the powerband changed from stock? What have they told you to be aware of? Have you tracked it?

Power will kick in after 3000 rpm. I don't have dyno chart but produce over 400 hp to wheels and some where around 360 torq . They tell me do all the maintenance on time change oil every 6 months , I don't track my car I don't think it's good idea with stock engine.

LOL fixed...
