Thanks for that. I will be tracking it, so might need to consider a radiator or oil cooler upgrade.

Having watched Ultra_Nexus (Ron) install a SOS kit a couple of years ago, he commented that many of the fixtures and fittings that were provided were below the quality level he was content with and risked an engine fire if anything failed - which he indicated they were vulnerable to.
I've not heard of any engine fires involving an SOS kit
and I spent a long time reading about the SOS kit before I bought mine

I'm running a TTS race kit using the Rotrex Supercharger C38-81 with 18psi boost and am making a "reliable" 457bhp (flywheel) without water meth. Totally stock internals and has done 3 track days so far with no apparent issues other than it gets a bit too warm on track so a mishimoto rad going in this weekend (already have the fans)
Robert King by any chance? Pre facelift s2k?

Cool, I've seen vids on YouTube. 
I did wonder though, you appear to be short shifting often, is that down to traction/low temps or just that its fast enough without higher Rpms? Sounds good too!

Ok another update.
Car is now mapped and it made 345bhp @ the hubs. They say it's very smooth and drives really well with the power it's pushing. It has also been limited at 8500rpm for safety.
I'll be picking it up tomorrow morning so will be able to feedback more once I've had a go in it.

Is it 8500rpm limit for stopping the charger over spinning or losing efficiency? Or just your safety?
What other mods if any do you have supporting the HKS kit?
Did they run it pre fuel upgrade at all?
Anything else we need to know?
Ask loads of questions get more pictures and tell us how it drives

I have a DMS Exhaust, Hel oil cooler kit, 800cc Injectors and 255 lph fuel pump.
No it hasn't been run pre fuel upgrade, everything has been fitted in one go, I will find out what duty the injectors are running at which will give a rough idea how far the standard fuelling setup would go.
What else would you like to know?
Will do.
