I went with the Kraftwerks C30 kit and its still sitting in my living room ready to be installed. Reason I picked this kit being:

1. Close to 300 whp on 93 octane
2. Daily driveable
3. Survive the Texas heat and run cooler.
4. Not kill the transmission with hard torque like a turbo does with it's huge rush of boost.
5. Reach a nice balance of power without ruining the car.
6. Not have to replace the clutch, and injectors (May possibly later since I know the stock injectors will be pushed at high rpm. It's a must for E85 though.)

My buddy has a Stage 2 P&L turbo kit with rocket bunny v2 and he can't even keep it on the road with 500 rwhp. It's awesome for bragging rights and dyno numbers, but it's dangerous to drive. Not to mention heat is killing him here. I can barely walk by his engine without feeling the fire coming from the turbo when he pops the hood.
