I was thinking the same thing YoungS2K. By my calculations it ends up some where around 50 or so. But if you want to pay 80, I do not mind.

Hmmm....maybe I'm wrong? If the average package cost is $8000. and it produces around 94 h.p. thats $85. is it not?

You guys are talking about different things: $6500 is the kit price, but $8000 includes installation and required modes (gauges, VAFC, etc).

Velocity, you're comparing apples and oranges, you are comparing 334 (wheel HP) to 240 (flywheel HP.) For a more correct comparison you need to compare 384 to 240. That's a gain of 144 hp, or $55.55. Or if you want to compare REAL HP (wheel HP) then it's a gain of 134, or $59.70.
