Default q's about the kinetix ssv

im interested in the ssv. its looks awesome under the hood but im not fi. i plan on going fi in about 8-9 months but i want more power now. im doing some mods that i will be able to keep even with fi. so to the questions, does the ssv work well without fi or will i lose power? will i gain any, and if i do what might i be lookin at? and is there somewhere besides directly from kinetix. lookin for somewhere a lil cheaper, i know we used to have a gb for 725$. any help will be much appreciated

Most of the SSV's I've seen are on FI cars.

the whole 1 N/A dyno I saw showed losses down/mid-curve, and some pull at peak.

All you need with the SSV are the iso thermal gaskets that come under it, this was greatly reduce the amount of heat going into the engine, thus, it will increase power, to about 10-15 WHP for N/A, and around 20 to 30 WHP for FI
