Eventually yes, but I am loving this power output right now and plan on thoroughly track testing it to make sure the w/m is working flawlessly.

Big Willow yesterday was a good track to test the extra power. I got one session that was clean of w/m failsafe bugs and was happy to see coolant and oil temps stayed cool for the 20 min session. Oil never went above 230 deg. Outside temps were reading 101 on the course. I have a feeling my cooling is over kill right now. Robispec thick radiator + w/m injection cooling down the combustion chamber, heads, egts and twin screw.

Failsafe bugs were annoying and I will continue to tune the flow alarm limits. It was working perfectly on street testing it, but for some reason once I got on the track it would register more and more flow and trigger the bypass to open. It is either heat or G-forces that is causing moments of extra w/m flow. The only time I get this condition on the street is when I shift very quickly from 2-3. What I did is I kept slightly increasing the upper limit of the flow failsafe alarm, so I got 1 session where it was clean of alarms. The next session however saw a slight bump in flow again so I had to end it early to play around again with the failsafe software.

In the end my impression of the innovate kit itself is that it is fantastic all in all. It has terrific throttle response and gives a nice bump in power to the point where it feel seamless as if the motor is bigger but not heavier. Powering out of corners is.... FUN rather than lethargic.

While I didn't get many laps to try and achieve a fast lap time (my first time on Big Willow + failsafe bugs), Robi set some incredible lap times in his twin screw monster.

Will post video later today.

Here is a part throttle 3rd to 4th I think to show the water meth flow gauge and the supercharger whine =)
