We will be bringing in an RCF next for development. So no worries there.

Why don't you upload a video of the acceleration? Seems like you've had plenty of chances to film some good encounters....

Yes I will do a full write up next week. The kit is impressive to say the least, the acceleration is linear like the ISF was from the factory but has wayyyy more ***** behind it. Its a super fun car and I have nothing but good things to say about Rafi and the RR team at this point.

Sounds like a great kit at a good price! Unfortunately, I just don't think it's going to fly off the shelf due to the fact you have to blend or run meth for proper operation. I think a reliable street supercharger kit should run efficiently on regular pump gas... and blending or meth would just be a cherry on top if the owner so chooses.
If this kit needs E30 or meth to run, its definitely not going to work for the guys in places like California and Colorado where 91 oct is the best we can do at the pump. Just my .02
For the record... I have mad respect for RR and all the fine products they have made for this community.

I’m seeing a lot of support for a reasonably priced intercooled model. I would jump on that wagon.

The kit is fully upgradable to the full kit so you can add an intercooler if you want, from some of the earlier posts in this thread. The front range of Colorado and most cities in California have e85. Blending isn’t totally hassle free, especially if you’re filling up several times per week as a DD but if you want the cheapest kit it’s something that may be worth it.

Agreed^^^In the last 2 years the availability of E85 on the Front Range has really increased. I have at least 6 stations within 15 min from me
This kit is perfect for guys (like me) with E85 so available, but I know that not all areas of the country don't have easy access like we do now.
Like Minator said above, the kit is upgradable if you want the intercooler as a add on. I'm just glad we have another cheaper option to increase power on the 2UR!

I also understand you can upgrade to add all the parts of the bigger kit (ie: intercooler), but if your going to do that, why not just buy the bigger kit from the start and not worry about it? I thought the whole purpose of the "smaller kit" was to provide everyone with an opportunity to have a SC on a street car at a cheaper price point? If I have to add additional items ($$$) to make it "street car friendly", that kind of defeats the purpose of a cheaper SC kit.
