Very good company, but way too $$$, for way too little hp. Better off waiting for a Pettit Racing unit, or the Axialflow from Richard Paul.

i'd be interested to hear about a firsthand account, but it really is too much money for what you get, like fanman said. i'm still torn between which way i'll go, but i've got 19 months!!!

And FYI 4300 British Pound Sterling is equal to $8,144 ! For that price I can think up of seeveral kits that can give you more than 40-50 hp.

I thought Blitz had decent SC kit, I read a review on the SC altezza, not much power added only like 40+ rwhp but the damn dyno graph had a very flat torque all the way from 4000+ to redline. Not bad in my opinion.

Unit is just really small. Even at $5K you are looking at a 40, maybe 50 hp gain. For $3K you get about a 60 hp from the Greddy kit, and with another fuel management unit up to 120 hp (probably ending up at $5k). I would understand is for $5K (or $8K retail) you get 50 hp on a very conservative boost, but have the possibility to go to 100-125 hp, but the unit is among the smallest I have seen, even smaller then their Celica kit version.
