If you look at the stage 1 Innovative SC kit (owner's thread), the Phantom TQ250 ESC bests it in torque and matches it in HP. Traditional FI needs 8-9lbs of boost to match the non-parasitic 4.5 boost of an ESC. Still, those kits will never match the simplicity, reliability and price of the ESC. The Phantom ESC is roughly $2-3k less if installation labor is factored in. Chasing 250 HP would only be worthwhile if it maintains the other advantages of the kit. Satisfaction is written first person in the words of those who either own or have rode in a Phantom ESC equipped '86. Sales are strong. Rob is expanding to Miata (via Shiv and Vishnu). Its a tightly focused product that as many have said is worth every penny. Try to get a ride in a local vehicle if you can, then see if 250 hp should be the factor holding you back.
