How much power is this one making? YouTube - 07 Honda Boosted SI - Swift Racing @ Capital Raceway - 12.962 sickkk. That trap should be good for low 12's into 11's.

You will always need to be tuned, theyre are so many different variables, get ready to spit out some money!

When are you taking in orders, also I donīt live in the US, is there a way that I can get one of your tuners to come to central america to tune the car, so I can minimize any issues with the kit?

Have to remember that a bad tuner = boom, a good tuner = decent numbers and decent tune but a great tuner knows how to tune a car through all boost levels. Once you tune a car for all boost levels only minor tweaks are needed and most can do that on the street. There no difference in my tune compared to 10psi - 19psi other than turning the boost gauge up. I mostly do milds tuning in vacuum for MPG but other than that I trust the tuner. The only other tune I have is C16 = 28psi.

nice just a few questions, depending on pre production price i may go get a loan, so how much for the kit, install, and tune at Swift (im local so its no problem also feel free to PM the price so you dont have to put it out there like that) also what is the down time for the car to have the kit installed and tuned?

Does the interceptor come with a preloaded tune ready for running or do you have to get a custom tune for it?

The kit will have a base map but will need more tuning since all SI are different. But the basemap will get you around and most like run more on the rich side.

I like this, at least I can use the car to drive to work, while I get someone to tune it perfectly...

they generally charge by the hour so the longer they got to mess with it the more it will cost.

Well.. yes.. but for most I would recommend 7-8psi but you could go to 9-9.5 without issue but recommend you to tune the car at a local shop for anything above that. I know swift will give you a very good base map but it's still highly recommended to get a tune.. IMO.. since every car is different.
