Trust me when another company bashes a competitor that doesn't help swing me to their side for my next FI option.
Hell if I can drop 14k on a new engine and 9k(BP) on a 900+hp system that I can install on a weekend. Easy choice on that one.

It is sad, but this is how low some are willing to go to sell their product. All this started when I came on board with a legitimate turbo kit that had many advantages over the one (monopoly) turbo kit available on the market at that time.
It was clear that they were intimidated by essentially a one man show, which is again sad. How can a shop with a 26 year history and infinite wisdom be intimidated by some guy working out of an igloo in Canada? That just gives me confidence in my product, and the fact that it is able to compete with anything else on the market…and then some.
Now that F.I has come out with a great twin turbo kit with fantastic quality and proven components, some are really feeling the heat, to the point where they are re-engineering everything. Again, it shows that even they recognize the quality of product competition is putting out on the market.

I just want to touch on "power under the curve" comment since its my car as a prototype. When I talked to the guys at specialty z, they advised me not to exceed 400 ft/lbs of torque. This keeps things safe and reliable. I am sure someone out there will push this kit 
I should also meantion there was nothing done with the gain. To me 3600 rpm is perfect to help with traction problems, but I am sure someone could have the boost come on quicker if they wish. |
Thanks for the support James, and yes it took a bit of time before I decided to "get in to it". I feel like my products and support speak for themselves.
