Are you in a CARB state? Get CARB. Not in CARB state? Get self tuned.

The $1000 also includes an EcuTek license, cable, and dongle, in addition to the CARB tune itself. Getting Ecutek on your own, plus a custom tune, without the CARB tune, would cost you just as much, if not more.

Whichever route you decide to go, CSG is here to help.

Sort of like the blown engine threads. They used to make me feel horrible about my engine, especially the N/A blown engines. But the actual failure rate is miniscule. What I don't have is actual numbers though so asking a vendor for their take is a better bet. This is sort of along the lines of what a vendor told me about failure rates of the Rotrex units.
Alright thank you

I have had mine on for six months, and it is just fine. Has the same exact amount of oil in it now as the day I installed it, and the shaft remains intact.

Haven't dyno'd but I'm guessing around ~275whp. And no not for now. I'm very happy with how the car is right now. I'll probably just get a scanguageII and header for now.

Kits are made to order and shipped directly to you from Jackson Racing.

*edit* I've been corrected. Kits are in stock.
