Theres countless forums on what can be improved on stillens kit, but if you think theyre wont be pages upon pages on the rjm kit, youre again wrong, just wait till its released.
No kits come with all the upgrades you need. That's well known. That doesn't mean that you don't need them, or that you don't figure in the cost of them when planning your project. You're right, supporting mods are not necessarily mandatory. But, a lot of them are a damn good idea when you're adding forced induction to a car that came from the factory NA.

? I mean, your first post as a member of this forum was refuting it (even though you spent much closer to that 10k mark than originally stated once you added in the other parts you had already installed).

Where in there did I specify that those numbers were only the cost of the kit? In fact, the phrase "out the door" traditionally means your total all-in cost.
