With all due respect, this is a moot point to me. The deciding factor for me, if I were purchase a power adder, is decent and reliable increases. I could care less if the car is pushing 350WHP if it can't do it without stalling, having overly rich AFRs, lacking a fuel filter on the return line, etc.

Again, I applaud you for being the first people on the scene for F/I'ing this car, but I personally think it was too hasty for you all to go about releasing such a kit which boasts high power numbers yet can have minor/major problems. I understand that tuning using only a reflash is the weakness of the system, but perhaps you should have taken that into account before releasing the kit to the public. I'm sure it was evident that a kit like this is extremely SENSITIVE to atmospheric conditions and must be specifically tuned for the atmospheric conditions where it's being driven. A reflash can't handle that, only something like K-Pro could. Power increase > OEM-like reliability? I can't vouch for that myself.

Just my personal take on the issue. I'm sure others would care to disagree.
