Can anybody speak about installation differences between the Comptech and Vortech kits?

Still no before and after Dyno's showing more than a 45% increase!
Showing a couple of after Dyno's on the same machine proves nothing, other than the Dyno was probably way out of calibration, or the operator was generous with his variables.
To get back to the point, if the gains you guys are talking about were achievable, don't you think Comtech & Vortech would be shouting it form the roof tops?
I rest my case!

I just noticed those Dyno's posted refer to flywheel power!

On the 2004 Vortech kit they added an additonal injector on the power cooler for this. There are a number of other changes in the 2004 kit such as smaller pully, and different electronics.

Back to subject:
If you go with the stock install as I did, you do not need any additional equipment.
You may find your clutch will need replacing after a while depending on t's age and how you use the car. Mine started to slip after about 3,000 K's with the SC but it had already done 45,000k's before the SC was fitted.
I would aviod using the extra power for sustained high speed driving and limit to short bursts of excelaration. I blew my engine on a return trip from Italy whilst doing 270KPH.
If you try to attempt a lot of drag starts (clutch dumps) you might blow the differential, so if this is your intention you should think about upgrading it.
If you go for more power >325 RWHP you should think about strengthening the whole drive train.
