I’m curious if this kit with the intercooler will have the same potential as the 10k kit. If it has the same blower, there aren’t really many main differences outside of the intercooler that I’m seeing.

We shall see in a couple days hopefully. Rafi and the team are doing two tunes so we will have results on straight 93 and a 93/e85 blend will will give a tad more hp

Are they waiting for the car to be completed to give you a price? They never gave you a rough estimate on pricing?

My car is the kit development car. They will post the retail price once It’s done. I’m sure they will chime in.

Yes good compression. Rafi said depending on PSI level you get fr a compression test you can tell if the ringlands have any cracking or damage. He explained to me that the gap from factory is tight and since these cars get HOT they can expand and develops hairline cracks.


On another note, the cars running, rollers Friday

This^^^^^I saw some guy on a FB (I think in Chicago) post that he lost all compression on his SC ISF on cylinder 7 and he has to rebuild the entire motor. This is a crucial aspect to look for before forced induction on this motor.

It should be done on any motor that you are seriously considering forced induction or any kind of major power adder.

Blows me away how people assume and just throw **** on their cars without verifying what it can handle or if it’s healthy at all.
