OK Guys, ( and girls )
Got a call from the guys at Vortech. They are picking up my car on Monday. They're gonna keep it for a week to do some tests. Hopefully I'll have a dyno chart to show soon.
By the way, before the kit they did a baseline at 196. I'm not sure how they checked it or what dyno they have. I'll try to find out and let you know.
Still runs good. I haven't taken it over 8K yet. Waiting for their OK after the test.
If any of you have thought about purchasing a Vortech unit for your S2KI when it becomes available I have some straight up advice for you.
DO IT!
Those guys over there know what they're doing. The kit they put on my car even though it was a first time "prototype" job looks flawless. I stopped by and got the nickle tour of their plant and operations. Like working in the aerospace industry or soemthing. Everything was spit shined with all this tech stuff all over the place. The place was HUGE! And kits everywhere. Everything was spotless which showed what these guys are all about. Perfection.
Hope to have semething for you soon.

If you are contemplating on putting the strut tower bar, consider doing the X brace underneath instead.
If you are aware of many board member's X brace testimony(including myself), you do not need front strut tower bar.

Yes I do have the Digrappa brace... but seeing as how I have psychological scarring from my old Celica's "adjustable" camber (that should NOT be read camber plates... rather chassis flex under hard cornering 
)... I need all of the chassis structure I can get!

Hey people,
Vortech still has my car.
Have had it for two weeks.
They want to keep for two more weeks.
They say it runs much faster now. They've been tuning it.
They are putting on a new ACT clutch and also ordered a special ignition control module which will take a little time.
I'll let you know when I get it back hopefully have some graphs.
