Down the road...
So let's say I get into a system and love it but want more boost time down the road, would upgrading the batteries to units with 36 Ahr or could you put something bigger in your trunk? Or is it far more complicated than just batteries?

Wow, just read through the install procedure - I don't think it can get simpler than that.
Regarding the battery, the new specs say it'll run 30 seconds straight, 60 seconds if you're pushing it (I assume good fresh batteries that are warmed up, motor nice and cool, etc.) I'd think in most street situations, or even an AutoX that's plenty. For something like a 20 minute DE event, my hunch is it's more of a matter of how fast you can re-charge the batteries when off the throttle, vs extra batteries in the trunk. Bigger alternator maybe? |

The dump battery side is fine, it is the relationship to what the stock alternator is willing to put up with Provision are integrated for scalability.

Although they had me at "Not smoked by an S2000 getting onto the freeway" I am really looking forward to the final product, and any enhancements that come along later. |

I'm loving the add on, charge time cut in half pretty much, not that I ever even had issues with the charge time prior, give more details when I spend more time with the car, been a bit busy

Wow just read through about 30 pages and I'm very intrigued. Sorry if I missed it, but for those who have already have the kit, how has it affected your fuel consumption?
