He has actually been on this forum before. Supposedly there was a forum member who was getting one test fitted to their car but we never heard any updates.

Sorry, money has been tight, time has been tight between work and getting married in a few months, and in general I have been delayed greatly. It does work, but tuning is proving to be the main delay (and why ya havent seen any FI's for sale yet).

I hope to have something done in the next month or so.

Actually, 6PSI is good for about 75HP.

Much more nitceable than an intake. This is a real pressurized system, not some dorky fan in the intake.

Sounds like a good solution to me. Power only when I want it but without the need to fill a nitrous bottle.

Any idea on which system is good for the Renesis? ESC-400 or the 550?

I guess I could replace the car battery with one the odyssey PC925 or PC1200 and use the PC1700 in the trunk for additional power. What was the setup you were thinking?
