1 year 11k miles.
Mine ran lean, upgraded fuel sytem to e-manage and 440cc injectors.
Remapped the timing controller due to detonation on Oxygenated winter fuel.

Removed it last week, I'm planning on building a motor and getting a turbo/EMS

I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

sucks at the track on double-apex corners or sweeping corners.

power delivery at v-tec is upsetting - espcially when it happens mid-corner.

great on the straights though
I could see this happening.

However, I would hope that you would eventually be able to control it by smooth inputs and eventually would not be an issue.

Are you going to FC?

If so, I'd like to ride with you to experience this. I have thought about the S/C.

I do want to find a sponsorship yes, other than my wallet) and build up the engine and slap in kane's turbo package.

1 year and 16Kmiles...no regrets!! Not one problem with the S/C just other areas of the car, and that was my fault.

no, i'm not going to FC....

define "smooth"?

a mm of throttle input results in a surge of power....how can you be smoother??

Its great to see so many of you with reliable set-ups. Reason being I'm actually contemplating whether to go FI or just leave it N/A. I would prefer to keep it N/A, but its just so much more expensive for so little gain...in comparison to S/C or even T/C'ing.

Hearing all you guys running your S2K's for so long with little to no reliability issues is making me lean towards FI...

you know you want it!! do some financial research[cost, install, tuning, dyno fees and such] make sure you have enough and DO IT.

Don't settle for anything less than you want

10 mos & 2K miles w/Vortech. Mine ran lean out of the box, got it tuned w/AEM EMS and 550cc injectors, now it's all good.

Not a single regret.
