Ohh I was thinking that it was an additional tuning device instead of using something like AEM or Kpro. Kind of like a locked map for both stage 1 and 2 kits.

-Most notable is the ScienceofSpeed FVM (Fuel VTEC MAP) Controller included in all stage 1 systems for 2000-05.
-and the required MAP sensor voltage control.
-All customers from the initial introductory sale to present have been upgraded to the FVM Controller at no additional charge.
Did this bump up whp numbers in stage one setup?

You'll also need a crank pulley removal tool, you can get a decent one from amazon.com fairly cheap. It's a PITA to get that pulley off, you'll also need a good long breaker bar or metal pipe to get enough leverage to get it off.
You'll need a decent ratchet set, a good torque wrench (possibly two), crank pulley tool, screwdrivers never hurt, breaker bar, and probably some odds and ends. I think the instructions are on SOS's website if you want to look at it.
To make it as simple as possible I'd recommend getting the option that doesn't require you to tap into the engine oil for lubrication.

AGREED! When the time comes, I would like to be able to switch over to the 1200 instead of having to buy a whole new system.
SOS, I suspect if you sold an adapter plate to convert the old Comptech setups to the 1200 you might clean up because there are a LOT of us out here.
Please consider? If it's possible, how much would you charge for the piece plus the new bushings and trick tensioner.

From everything I've read it's the easiest to install kit out there. You will probably want an upgraded clutch first.

The oil pan does not need to be tapped. The drain plug is removed and replaced with a fitting.
