I think this is an underrated feature, and I'm not sure why they don't put more emphasis on it. Also the dyno graphs, that I have looked at on other member's threads, just for some not so scientific comparison have shown me that the torque difference between the Innovate/Sprintex kit and the KW kit is not substantial above 3k and after around 4.5k the KW just takes off... Plus there is always the benefit of an air to air inter-cooler, which is much less maintenance than the Laminova style...

Thank you by the way, this is all great information that I really needed to know moving forward! I'm trying to keep my car from looking like it came out of a Fast and Furious movie, but at the same time having enough down-force to keep it from skidding off the track at high speeds as I enter a turn...
also...

Probably because their complicated belt setup is causing belts to break. Every KW owner has spare belts in the trunk.
