I agree, the HKS kit is not the best set up for pushing the highest hp in the 350 Zs. I am leaning toward just going for about 400 hp at the engine in the hopes of maintaining long term engine reliability. This set up should still keep me well ahead of the stock 05 Mustang GTs. The new Mustang GT will be quicker than the old stock GTs. That's just the line I draw in the sand, ha. I don't want to have close races with the new (stock) Mustang GTs. I don't hate them or anything, don't get me wrong, just want to stay easily ahead of them so that they know their place in the pecking order, ha.

Yep , my line in the sand is with Vipers. Only clear advantage here is with a built bottom end and TTs.

It sounds trivial, but if I spend the money on a kit like this, I want a visible FMIC! They should have made it shorter, but still across the front opening.

I agree but I would rather keep the aluminium bumper bar that most FI kits require it to be removed.

WRT what FI kits are curently marketed in the US, only the Greddy removes the alum bumper bar.

Any news of HKS coming out with a turbo kit as well? I was considering the supercharger, but then I heard the blow-off valve from a STI the other night. I really like HKS products and wouldn't want to settle with a mediocre product like the Greddy kit.
