If we only get an order of 10, it'll be $110, includes all lines, fittings, o-rings and shipping. Everything required to install.

Although, it does make sense that there hasn't been a lot of K swaps out there yet seeing as how the KPower kit is just now starting to ship and based on the thread here in this forum no one has received theirs yet. I'm familiar with EJs I have a stroked closed deck EJ22T (2.4) in a GC8. What is interesting is it seems there's still not a general consensus 8 years later as to whether the FA is an improvement over the EJ. My point was, and that you sort of made for me was that we know the K24 CAN double its stock crank hp by a significant margin without breaking a sweat and I understand the appeal to go that route if you are trying to go 350+ or want a high revving NA screamer. Do I need 400whp? Do I even need a car or can I just take a Uber everywhere, or walk? When you say "need" that makes it quite the loaded question. I mean I'll likely never run anything but 295s at 200 treadwear in the rear and it's not going to be a daily. I know roughly what power goal I'm looking for to achieve the feel I want. I assume most people will use a CD009 adapter and get a custom driveshaft made, or those parts will become a standard kit through KPower or someone else. I'm not trying to make the case for a K swap I'm just pointing out the obvious. |

If you're not swapping pulleys for more boost, the Edelbrock/Harrop/Jackson kits are all rock solid. |

Either way you're not wrong. The only logical reason to get a K swap is if you're going 400+ and more specifically on the high end of 400. Which I eventually will be which is why I'm weighing my options of future proofing. |

A small quirk I noticed since install, on the digital speedometer there was a indicator that showed up when I pressed the clutch or when I should upshift for fuel economy(?) on the same screen. Not that I care that it’s gone from the screen but thought it interesting.
My traction control is permanently off too. Buttons do nothing, light on the dash is always on. |

You once told me that a LS swap would significantly alter the driving of the car if I went that route so I took that off the table. So if a customer came into your shop with a blank check wanting a reliable 400-500whp in a 86 that they plan to track but not exclusively what would be your recommendation? |

I'd probably tell them to take their money to the dealer and just buy a faster base car, unless they're absolutely dead set on having a super fast 86. |
