i was wondering about this kit too because i'm also in cali and i wondered how good it is since it is a very complete kit but from reading info on the d-series kit i think i am going to pass. there have been many complaints about the very bad fuel management it comes with and detonation.

i think those kits arer pointless and a waist of money, i had a drag kit on my eg and i ran a guy with a greddy kit and i dipped out on him by like 5 cars, it may be street legal but its a piece of ****

About 220whp @ 7psi.

what if i got the kit and installed it and put in a better fuel managment system because i also heard you cant run over 7 psi without the shyt bogging out or something.

but good luck with your car and everyone might tell you that making the most power but remember the more power you make usually means its going to be less reliable. and that carb exemption sticker can save your life in cali! but do some more research before you buy anything before you buy anything and make sure you really want what your gonna buy. but i would totally recommend the greddy kit for you to stay legal in cali. and just a side note there was a guy in here that broke into the 11s with this kit tuned at 15lbs so it can be fast so dont underestimate this kit.
