Questions that need to be addressed:

1. What kind of performance gains? (DYNO numbers, not estimates)
2. How reliable/durable is the setup?
3. Specifics on the warranty. If it is only good at 1 dealership, everyone outside the KC metro area is out in the cold.
4. How much $$$$?
5. When will it be available.

If you double the Torque at a certain RPM, you double the Power. If you double the RPM and keep the Torque the same, you also double the Power. It is a basic property of physics.

Nowithstanding differing units:
"Torque" * angular_velocity = "Power"

I stopped by Sunflower today to check out the car. Man that thing looks good. He has the MS kit on it and some nice 19s. I talked to Larry for about 20 minutes or so about the car. I got alot of good info. I'm going to wait and see the dyno numbers on it, but I think that I'm going to get it if the numbers are good.

Its not running to its full potential. Larry said he is waiting for Maurice to finish the new PCM piggyback for it.

Just that it was goign to cost around $5500 for people who didnt buy there car there. The kit comes with the piggyback (from Canzoomer) and an exhaust. He said that the kit bolts into all stock holes on the car, and that if something happend to the car(under warranty) you could take it off and return it to stock without the dealer knowing you had it on. They are basically waiting for Maurice to finish the piggyback for it and they would be ready to dyno and sell the kits.

The s/c is easily removable, or just the piggyback?

It is hooked up right now. The car is drivable, but with out the new Piggy back from Canzoomer they cant run the SC to its full potential. You can just go up there and talk to Larry Smith. He is a good guy. I talked to him for about 20min or so about the car. I wont be up there til Wed or Thurs.
