There's a tuner roundup mag on the news stands with a brief article on this package. The 17+(!) psi boost, 255 hp, 325 ft/lb torque makes me think there's a typo somewhere. Maybe 325 hp and 255 ft/lb torque instead? Hard to believe the stock renesis can take that much boost. Regardless, it's listed as a test mule not intended for commercial sale so it sounds like they still have driveability issues to tune out before it hits primetime.

Well--I they do have a kit for A/T and Manual--so my guess is that was in reference to the manual. Remember in every other market besides North America the 4-Port comes with a 5 spd manual. The 5 spd 4-ports are only a couple of ticks behind the 6-ports (0-60 in about 6.8-7.2s if I recall).

That kit doesn't make that kind of power. This is the kit Greddy was making for Re-Amemiya, but decided not to release in the US. It theoretically makes 70 hp. And is still too expensive.
