Reliable with great drivability.

Why not the Innovate? Great, instant, power down low for passing.. simple..

If you want turbo I won't stop you but if you are shopping why not look at all the options.. there is definitely more headroom with a turbo but to get there it requires a lot more parts and money.
because you can almost make as much power na with e85? really, if you're investing in fi, you want headroom and a significant increase in power. otherwise, the value just isn't there. not to mention all the issues that kit is having with heatsoak, leaking, etc.

the big thing though is that the blower is just too small. it's only good for just enough power to make you realize you want more . turbos are far more future-proof, in the never-ending pursuit of more power lol.
