Or we could be like Goddard and spend $30k to get a mathematically calculated 400whp. My kit is as reliable as his as of this point.

this is a very good thread. I can see both side on the matter.
I was looking at getting the KW and greddy kit. With Greddy kit having some much issue even though its carb legal, it wasn't worth the trouble. I read and experience a lot of problem with that kit (turbo and e-manager). That two is the core of the kit so if one of it doesn't hold up then its not worth it.
So I was left with KW kit and mase. I have heard great stories with mase kit. KW had minimal issue. Issue nonetheless. I am looking for a reliable kit that will last me awhile. I do understand that when modding the car above what is suppose to be, reliablitiy gets toss out of the window.
I just want a little extra horsepower out of the S2K. I don't need huge power as I have the supra for that.
As for engine management, I already have the flashpro so that is taken care of. Just need a kit

I am making 377whp with my Kraftwerks S/C with hondata flashpro. Honestly, for my purposes I wouldn't take a single extra whp even if it were free so it doesnt matter that the kit is at potential. On any given road course even 377 whp is overkill. Fun as hell but overkill. The car would be NOT be any faster on the track going from 377whp to 450whp.
One benefit to the kraftwerks kit is perfectly linear horsepower which will really really help with traction on straight line and even more so corning especially track conditions.

This question goes for both kits: Are a reinforced diff and heavier-duty axles recommended? Increasing the torque by over 100% of stock specs without strengthening the drivetrain certainly is questionable safety-wise. The last thing I would want to do is put nearly $10K in a car and have an axle break at freeway speeds (this happened to someone here in Atlanta and it caused them to spin out into a semi... luckily he was ok, but very scary nonetheless).
