Foremost, I suggest waiting until the article is published so that you may understand the testing criteria before jumping to conclusions.

As I've mentioned in earlier, there was no limit of any kind in the DSport magazine competition against pressure or peak horsepower. It was the competitors choice to bring whatever they liked as long as the system functioned on a stock engine and any options to produce this power were accounted for in the total cost of the system. The higher the cost of the system, the more points would be lost as a result. This was a tradeoff that each competitor had to calculate.

The products we used for this competition is an off the shelf stage 2 system, and any customer may purchase this from us. In fact, many already have.

Our goal was to show what our system is capable of with an off the shelf system. It was not our decision on what other companies decided to bring to the competition and in my opinion further underscores how flexible and expandable our system is.

Cheers,

hey guys... i'm the "test driver" for DSPORT and did all the driving for the S2K challenge. now i don't remember exactly what i said verbatim, but i don't believe i actually said they turned down the boost. i did say the SOS car didn't have the seat of the pants feel like it put out the highest HP or boost pressure, where other cars felt like they accelerated "harder" than the SOS car.

i haven't gotten my copies of the dvd's yet, so i'll have to re-watch the segment to see what i actually said.. LOL

but, all the cars were very well put together. the test was really a way to see how different these kits are and what is best for what YOU want out of your car. just use the data for that and you can't go wrong. if you want big power, you can go with X kit. if you want a good, drivable street car, go with Y kit.

hope you guys found the article to be educational and a way for you to make a choice in what kit you want for your S2K.

see you guys at the track!

My apologies Robbie it's in the article page 124 "The SOS vehicle was generating 13.6 psi while the stage-2 kit is rated at only9.5 psi.The boost pressure was corrected prior to the road course competition"..
I enjoyed your test drive the most,I still feel the stats in the article were off but you did a great job and seemed very objective offering great advice.

I'll edit my statement to reflect my mistake.

no worries bro! you just got me thinking about what i said on camera...

i was brought in to provide a third party view from a professional driving standpoint and hope i portrayed that to the readers/viewers. i literally showed up that day not knowing what kits were on these cars, what dyno #'s they put out, etc. i just drove them and gave my input... again, there are kits that are better suited for some people and it all depends on what your end goal will be.

I have a KW kit and I choose it for daily street driving here in the mountains,very narrow winding roads.Plenty of power with good low end torque. I think that was what you mentioned in your test drive. I just watched the vid again, nice job!

thanks! i really liked the KW kit, it had great drivability, good power, and it was just fun to drive. very comfortable, predictable (in terms of power delivery), and man would it like to get sideways. plus, oscar jackson is a stand up guy and know he will produce a good product.

take your car out to the track! you'll have a lot of fun with it.

I would love to do a track day at Road Atlanta but feel I need some instruction from a pro driver.It must be fun,I'll make it one of my goals.
