The c38 kit is in testing, as is a smaller pulley for the c30 kit.

Your guess is as good as mine, I'm just a forum whore.

I may have the opportunity to buy a slightly used kit from someone local who has buyers remorse and wants to go turbo for higher HP. I appreciate that this kit has shown excellent reliability at the track which is the first criteria on my selection screen. I do have a few questions however.

The current owner went out of his way to show me how much flex there is with the induction pipe when the motor is revved. The pipe literally squeezes itself inward and is extremely pliable between my fingers. Is this an issue? The group consensus was that the pipe was being redesigned by JR to be more solid like the aftermarket silicone pipe I currently have.

Is a larger compressor kit being developed as an option? My first priority is reliability and I think I'll be happy with a flex fuel tune that delivers 275 whp on 93 and 325 on E85.
BUT if I'm not satisfied is there headroom with a smaller pulley ?

Big props to everyone racking up the laps with FI motors especially CSG! I appreciate the pioneers who lead the way.

The flex is not an issue.

Additionally, the update to the metal pipe is available *free of charge* from Jackson Racing.

I'm sure this has been answered already/happened at CSG. its hard to find in the threads. But if I have Ecutek already and want to buy the kit with the carb tune. is the kit going to be the 5k or would you buy the tuner kit and then the carb tune off JR.

It is an option available by request only. Your license will need to be validated before mating that tune to your EcuTek. The CARB tune only sans EcuTek must be purchased at the same time as the kit in order to be valid.

Anybody in Houston have one installed? I'd like to ride shotgun and see how it feels

Just got my updated pipe with two flexible fittings (one at each end) and four rings to secure everything. Easy swap. Sending old one back.

Really?!

What did you do to get it?!?!

Man, I asked about that awhile ago and now I'm hearing it's free... and now this post. Insert sad, left out, no love face here... 😔

Called Jackson Racing, they took my cc info for a deposit (you get back when you return the old single-piece rubber hose), and received it within a couple of days.
