another 40 or so hp, that's along the lines of what i was thinking. If this kit can make at least 360 rwhp I'm ready to put a deposit down
On the SOT forum I saw you posted something refrencing a C6, how do you think your car in its current tune would fare?
Enjoy the Dragon!

Just got back from the Dragon meet - 4800+ miles over seven days and no problems with reliability of the SC. I am having ECU/PCM problems but am 100% confident it is not SC related (there are 4 or 5 other peeps having the same problem).
Gas Mileage was about 26.5 for the entire trip at an average traveling speed of 80 MPH.

The current hold-up is engine management. The ELF, in its current form, is not a good solution. SOT is looking at options and may end up releasing the kit as a tuner kit (w/o management) until a suitable solution is available.
My car is still running fine - with the exception of a non-SC related "off-throttle" idle and low RPM drivability problems. Long story short is I completely went back to stock and the problem still exists and is apparently not uncommon (there are atleast 8 others having the same exact problem) - although any type of FI appears to amplify the problems.

I now have the kit re-installed and have about 9k miles on it with no mechanical issues. I was planning to go K-Pro but they have pushed the release date out to mid-July. I am now thinking AEM-EMS since it would be easy enought to pass emmissions when the time comes.
Passing emmissions with the hotside kit:
1 remove EMS and re-install the OEM ECU/ECM
2 remove SC belt and tie the SC by-pass open
3 drive car long enough to set all the readiness codes
4 pass emmissions
5 reverse steps 2 and 3
