Wonder if anyone will come out with an EFR kit, that would porbably be the best way to deal with space issues and keep it simple with great response. I think the only way i would go turbo over SC at this point (just me personaly) is if there was an EFR setup. Any hit up Fullrace yet??? they just made a magical efr kit for the ms6.
Most of the really good kits wont be out for several years. On most platforms it takes a long time before all the R&D is done and the best kits start coming out. The car was just released, give it a year or two. At this point the best plan would be to pay the car off and enjoy it with some minor bolt ons for a while and wait for the good stuff to start rolling in.

i agree and disagree at the same time. I agree for the reasons your right and disagree just because I feel the HKS kit will have the proper amount of research to warrant a reliable and powerful/efficient kit that will stand the test of time. but thats just my personal opinion based on how i see it being handling and knowing they probably have an engine before any other aftermarket company. But certainly as with everything should we will see kits improve over time for sure, and i look forward to it! :happy0180:

the article is nothing more than a cultivation of of a year or two worths of "tuning articles" found in any generic tuner magazine. Everything is mentioned but nothing discussed.

To anyone reading it, do so with a bag of salt and a large spoon.

Wow, I feel pretty stupid now for reading all that. Fact check much? And your tag line, "Drive fast and reckless!" sums this all up. Now can I have my 15 minutes back please?
Not going to lie, That was my comment left. My head hurts reading that. Shame on who ever posted that up here. I feel like my brain just received a beating at a spelling bee with Jerry's kids.
