I just wrote to both posted emails. Will let you know if/when I hear back and which one went through.
I hope support after purchase is faster than this.
What kind of MPG are you seeing in casual driving (this in no way impacts my decision - just casual curiosity)?

I have one of the original SOT kits. I will be installing it soon. I was looking for a stoplight racer in the S2000, so I have a stroked 2.4 liter motor and the SOT kit. I will be using KPro with it as well.
Should be a blast of a ride. I want to see some good 0-60 time posted from you.

If you up the fuel pressure you might get to 350whp on those, you will need an adjustable fpr. I've got some 650cc for sale if you want something inexpensive that will support 400whp with the stock fpr.

also I just checked and the RC injectors I have are 440's. Will those be sufficient for the 350-400hp range?
If not... Anyone want to buy some RC 440's?

My last tanks was 24 mpg. I usually get 22-23. My driving style is usually a steady cruise and not leadfooted on the freeway, but I do like to wind out first and second from a stop all the time when no one is in front of me because that is where I get my fun. Even on my first couple tanks when I was wringing it out everywhere when the kit was new I think I got 21. I think if it were fine tuned a little I could do better, but I am using the Emanage basemap I got with the kit. Mark tuned it to run set AFR off of a wideband but it runs a little rich when hot.
If you live in a warm climate I would HIGHLY reccomend a NACA duct in the hood like a couple people have done or some other creative solution. I am cooking up a couple things to try out when I have the time to tinker with the intake and get it some cooler air.

The hottest it ever gets around here is 100F, but that's pretty rare. And I usually don't drive it when it's that hot out anyway.
Can you route air to it via the fender? I wouldn't completely be against the naca duct, but I like to stay as stealthy as I can. Is everyone so far just using the original filter placement?

I ran the original air filter location for a while then changed it a little because the filter was rubbing on the firewall. Eventually I built a box around the filter and mounted an NACA duct thru the hood to feed the box. Very similar to the way WLaurent did his.
