Okada is superior to OEM. I do not believe anyone else makes them.

AEM makes universal CP's. You have to run an aftermarket engine management system though. Just cam out so personally I'd wait.

BTW w/ your mods I'd stay OEM. seems to help the FI guys more than NA.

Okada are about $50 more than new OEM packs for the set, I'd say get those. I'll be ordering a set in a month or two, mine are starting to go bad.

^^^ Testing were done with both N/A and FI, N/A shows little gain but smooth power. On the otherhand FI showed huge gains. My question is about reliability, is it worth it?? Can it handle another decade of DD/track use??
