THey are gonna release the dyno pretty soon.
I heard that they are setting the price around $5600 for everything that is needed.(feul injector, clutch, and so on.)
It's kinda expensive than I thought. 350HP at the flywheel was what I heard, but not 100% sure...

There is another thread that said "under $5K". So what's missing for this price?

Why confused?? Don't high power applications for the S2K require some beefing up of the clutch and drivetrain? (At least '00 - '01?)

The stock clutch is rated to 300+ ft/lbs tq. Why would you need to replace the clutch?

If you significantly upgrade the engine, you might look into upgrading the clutch, differential, torsion unit, and half shafts as some supercharged car drivers have found to be useful. Luckily, the transmission seems to be strong enough for power upgrades.
