I have an SOT kit and really like it. It is very solid,but I have maybe 8,000 miles on it. If you have a 2004 or 2005 it probably makes a great choice. You need to find the email for James at SOT. I think he has the parts and is still selling them.
As far as going back to stock, you can go back to NA pretty easy, but stock is another thing. You have to cut the battery cable when you move it and I think there might be another minor thing or two that would be hard to go back to factory stock, but not difficult to go back to a fairly clean NA.

I turn all my own wrenches unless it's something I don't have the equipment for, like A/C work or tire mounting/balancing. Full suite of hand tools, air tools, e/g hoist & stand, etc etc in the garage.

Oh yeah, this is for an '04.
And back to NA is really all I would be interested in. Bone stock is not so important, although I have the parts/tools at hand to fab a new battery cable if needed.
What did you end up doing for A/C lines? I seem to remember hearing it's possible to bend them, or that you would have to go to an a/c shop and have new lines made up. If you had new lines, how much did that cost you? Here in KY I cringe to think of giving my car to an a/c shop for custom lines. Not the best mechanics around these parts.

Found this article about self lubed blowers oil temp vs motor oil temp. An interesting read if nothing else...

above 300/base of the s/c, i'd go with an EMS (kpro in your case). And at that point, you should just go for 400whp, which you'll probably get at ~12 psi with any of the newish blowers (novi 1200+, vortech v3) in the centrifugal kits.

This is all I have:

WLaurent, Neptuner, and MugenRio(Mark) are all runnning them. You may be able to find James direct email from them. I had a different email address at one time for him I think but can not find it.

When you get it running please post up on your impressions after he had the ported unit rebuilt. He never seemed to be sure what cause the failure and I am still curious about porting.
