i think it would be best for you to be patient and wait another two months as more and more reviews come in

I have zero experience or knowledge about FI belt design hence my curiosity. I'm not sure if telling me to go to Gates is a good answer. KW is using this part as the belt system... would be great to know how many designs KW have used double sided belt system or how many known systems other FI companies are using double sided belt system? It's about reliability.
Far as the flyer goes, I've gone through this thread post by post including the flyer that you were kind enough to post on a few threads. To clarify, I was referencing when the kit is released and to show the dyno WHP numbers, what size pulley, what kind of PSI output. I don't care about 650+ hp since I don't track. 250 to 300 WHP+ is more than enough. You can't really be responsibly driving more as a daily driver...part time track car sure more power is welcome...but for me reliability from 6 to 9 PSI with pump gas daily driver car.
Looking forward to the release of KW's FI kit for this platform.
