Current setup hits max. 90k. But I've seen lots of guys state you can push it to 95k. Some do 100k or over but they will need to be rebuilt after a couple years like that.

Hmm that's odd. I had 2 pulleys done at 2 separate times and I had no issues. I always spoke with a young lady at front desk. Not sure if they changed their policy or aren't willing to do that many pulleys. They charged me $140 for my aluminum pulley done in June 2020 and $100 for my steel pulley done march 2021

Whats the latest on this kit? Haven't seen any posts in almost 2 months. Did I miss something?

Been running mine since September making small tweaks along the way.

The obnoxious guy on facebook blew his headgasket with the kit, but he probably had it stupidly turned way up.

I asked him what happened and he said he had a very high mileage car and was running high boost.

Sadly, the forums are slowing down even more. I was hoping they would pick up momentum as guys got sick of FB but it hasn't happened yet. Look back at the posts in the FI section here over the last couple of months. Not much to look at. A few years ago it poured over onto page 2 every day.

There are definitely a lot of builds out there that have not shown up anywhere. Either that or lots of guys have a very fancy table-piece.

Young bucks don't know what a "Forum" is... They only know Insta and FB. If it was easier to post pics and make post from a phone or tablet this would probably get more action...

Yeah I don't use fb or Instagram. This is as close to social media as I get, and reddit I suppose. I'll be posting updates as I get everything installed. Will be running a cjm fuel system, 1300 injectors. The plan is to take a week off work and bang out everything, hopefully drive it the following Monday.

I have yet to have mine built. It was supposed to happen before the winter but different things got in the way so now it's planned for April, my builder/tuner has promised. Fingers crossed.

AT eh? Curious if you plan to run boost by gear or have built your trans?

is there something specific you where hoping to see that you haven't yet?

been running my kit for about 2-3 months now.

The max potential for the kit seems to have been tested and hit already assuming you have supporting mods fueling, trans, engine etc... is about 575WTQ/800WHP.

the design of the kit and method it uses to control boost lets you have all kinds of tuning and power delivery options depending on how you want to set it up.

but at the end of the day its still an FI / SC kit. Not sure what more information people are still looking for?

Received my Rotrex kit a week or so ago. Will be starting to remove ACE & install new one soon. Scheduled for Dynosty tune in late April.

If only work & house projects would GET OUT OF MY WAY.

To those of you with either kit, what have you done to beef up the automatic transmission? Are you limiting power to a certain level? I want this kit but not sure what to do with the transmission. Not interested in level 10 . I want input from actual owners. Thanks
