Moto-East doesn't make their own system. They sell Sprintex, Jackson Racing and Kraftwerks. I know they tend to push the Sprintex (formally Innovate) system quite a bit and have a great success with that kit.

My concern is ceiling room with that kit. I considered it heavily prior to buying the KW kit, BUT we all eventually give in to the power bug and will want MORE, this is where that kit is limited. The highest numbers I've seen with the standard 210 Sprintex kit is 290WHP with all the bolt-ons using an E85 tune (Not too many fuel stations in our neck of the woods) and smaller blower pulley "over-revving" the blowers safe operation threshold. Does this work?... Sure it does, but for how long and how efficiently? NOW Sprintex has released a new 335 kit (335 represents target power) This blower is massive and even Sprintex is NOT RECOMMENDING using this on a stock motor. Moto-East is currently trying to make this system work on a stock block setup with some promising results... 2 Problems with this... 1) We don't have E85 abundantly here, so fueling this tune is an issue even with 94OCT 2) This is a new kit without a lot of "proven" success through various conditions.

If you haven't seen them already watch these two vids:

and

The Rotrex blower design is superior to that of the screw type and offers more "down the road" power once you outgrow your comfort zone.

At the end of the day pick the setup that suits your driving style and long term goals, thats what I did and that doesn't mean that my decision is better than yours, just different

I can talk on and on... PM me anytime
