hks DLI, Is it worth the $?
Hi everyone. I have a stocked block TT setup that I am very pleased with. Over the winter time while my baby is away for the winter I try to buy some goodies for it to instal in the spring when it comes out. I am considering a HKS DLI this winter. I have asked several people who have spent thier hard earned money on them about what the benifits are after installation and I never seem to get a straight answer! Flat out can difference be felt or even noticed after this upgrade is installed???? Does the hotter spark cause better fuel mileage or anything that would warrant the money spent for it? Anyone out there that has bought and installed this please chime in? Thanks

I dont have that issue. I did have an issue with the Greddy blue though. Thats the main reason I went with a UTEC.

Short answer: No.
We are not using them on 1000+hp builds and getting along just fine. If you are at the point of needing greater spark you should have already invested in better engine management, such as Haltech, giving you control of dwell time.
There have been multiple occasions where we have actually removed HKS DLIs from Zs due to problems.

Im going against the waves here, and going to say that it isnt NEEDED, and for most isnt WORTH IT, but for me, and what it did for me, it proved worthwhile.
My stock block car felt crisper in its throttle response, and my top end "felt" improved.
Then I went to the track and trapped 2mph higher with the same setup/boost as before, and I did it in temps that were 40 degrees warmer than my previous best at the time.
I have since disconnected it a few times to see if I "FELT" a difference and I personally did and reconnected it.
Dont rush out to buy one, but if you have the means I wouldnt say no to it.
