I'm not one to bitch about how people spend their money, that's a personal choice. However, people should consider that $10K can get you a fully rebuilt motor and lots of choices in how to use it. I'd look into new or redone heads to improve VE first if I wanted to go down the rabbit hole to an empty wallet.
On one hand, this will be a better overall solution than the Innovate system but at significantly higher price. On the other, it's just an improved Innovate type PD system for a lot more money. To be honest, I'd expect more innovation from Cosworth than this. In my opinion they are simply applying their expertise to refine currently available solutions. I would rather have seen something that brings us a solution from a Formula 1 company no one else can offer. This is like taking an Alfa 4C, adding coilovers, new pads, a remap and slapping a Ferrari badge on it and charging 2-3x's the price over the Alfa. |

That's more than $3000 less than the price of the Cosworth kit, at $10745. Quote:

I personally find the Cosworth kit a better deal in that light. A MUCH better deal. I am however surprised it does not include an oil cooler...

divided by 1.36 (roughly) so it is like 290 hp and 224 lbft torque at flywheel, not bad but not mind blowing either considering the fact the kit costs almost twice as much as the Kraftwerks kit and it lacks the linear tq curve that other positive displacement Superchargers..so if I don't have the linear/early torque advantage of a Innovate/Sprintex kit and track-ability advantage of the Rotrex units, what do I gain with this kit? brand name?
