I took mine to ZdayZ (1800 miles all told with my 300 miles of shakedown) after Sam and a very experienced F.I. Friend looked at the logging info to ensure that the a car was running right. When I get home I am taking it in to do some dyno runs and get my aftermarket a/f welded in.
All told my kit was 7k with PLX a/f and boost gauges and an oil cooler and thermostatic kit for when it gets cold around here.
I think the power levels that I have are perfect. Not so much power that you are roasting tires, but more than enough for fun. I am not sure about the additional maintenance yet but aside from oil changes and a belt replacement I am not seeing much. Hopefully it will just run, much like my Ford Lightning.
Am I happy with it? Yes I am. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.

So Kirkster... I was interested in the GTM SC also. Pure bolt on? So does the kit come with an ECU reflash, and therefore, no need for me to take it to a shop for tuning (since I live so far away from one)? If I have to I have to... but just wondering if the kit comes with the full flash/tune.
