And I want to be on E85 so I can run a (very) conservative 300hp for track work.

My main concerns with this kit are for the engine and transmission under stress back to back year round.

Obviously, if getting this setup to run back to back is too expensive then FI may not be a viable option for me.

Ill say that the CSG car see's the track often, way more then 7 times a year, im sure bi monthly most the times, if not weekly sometimes, running a C30 JR kit, im not 100% sure their power levels, but im sure its over the 250 mark easily and maybe closer to the 300 mark. If not more. Mike does not take it easy on that car. its pushed to the limits testing and testing. he would be a good person to talk to about the abuse the car can take and what parts to buy when tracking the car.

I wanted to share a little about my KW set up

At this time I run a KW C38 on the high boost pulley setup, My car on a delicious tune that has not been finished yet and I put 417hp to the hub. I would not change it for any other kit, I'm 100% happy with my kit. For me the separate drive system is one of the biggest factors in it. But there are others, I like the adjust-ability the kit gives, the piping layout among other things. KW customer service has been outstanding, and not just because I work at Fteightysix. Personally they have helped me out on many levels and I have seen KW step up to the plate above and beyond expectations.

In reference to a post above about durability of the C30 on a daily and a track car.

We have several local customers running high boost pulley set up and E85 with 60 plus mile daily commutes..

With that said I do not know of a KW kit on any car that see's the track on a regular basis like the CSG car does. I do know a KW car does track but im not sure if its weekly/bi-monthly like the CSG car. My post above was simply stating that this engine boosted by a C30 (regardless of the kit, its the same blower) Has ran many many track days with no engine issues. Because they track the car so much he has extensive knowledge of what mods work and what doesn't. I'm in no way saying that a JR kit is better or worse, just sharing my knowledge that our cars will hold up using the same blower can handle the FI & track time with a proper tune.

One thing about me and anyone here at Fteightysix - Since we are owners of the same car we give our honest feedback about product and will always tell ya'll the honest truth and if we dont know or think someone else has first hand knowledge even if it is another shop we will tell you or refer you to them. See our post in our review thread about how we run our business.

The same dyno but on a dyno jet this time, car is running good, we added 20 hp in just 3 pulls with some more timing. The charger couldn't built more boost past 6800, k rpm. Maybe because of our altitude. We are waiting for this bad weather to go away and try the 1/4 mile for better numbers, we are hoping for low 12s to high 11s.

Moto Mike busting ass on news year eve. Got me an updated tune, car is running even better! Hoping to finish my custom diffuser tomorrow, will show pics when it's done. Hoping to get some more E85 assuming krogers is open.

Where's mine ???

[BRZZZZZZZZZZ]

Nearly shat myself today driving along today. 110km/h, put my my foot down in fifth and nearly binned it with all the aids on. Damn you winter tires and cold and dry roads, I need to remember I am not driving my Civic when I hop into my car for a spin from time to time...

Finished it up today, it came out perfect! I can't wait to see it powder coated glossy black.

fteightsix hooking it up! I can't wait to get this in. Just waiting on coolant and a thermostat.

Well I shipped the sc kit and engine oil cooler out today so I no longer own the kit. Kind of sad honestly, but bought another house so selling it will help. New owner is a ft86 member so I'm sure he will chime in here after he gets it. I will still be around for sure, who knows when we sell the other house I may do a built motor and high boost E85 set up.....

Fixed the issue.
Be sure and clamp those lines tight boys!

Make sure you're not in valet mode. Try different maps if your tuner has set them up
