Great data, too bad we can't get a apples to apples comparison (same mods) but this is a great effort. It really shows the characteristics of these kits. I live in the 2k-5k range daily so the Innovate is nice for me. I can see why a lot of people prefer a more peak HP oriented kit, that's fun too!

Err, I mislabeled the graphs when I was citing sources, but I'll let the guy who made em know that the Innovate dyno is on a smaller pulley and catless.

innovate intercooled is worse then the non intercooled

edit: you already noticed

ramiram1984 · 01-14-2014, 02:26 PM

So, who's the overall winner here??? :P

Mike, these are flip flopped. The KW under here is actually my JR. The JR is actually the KW SC.

What we need is a group of fruitcakes to get together, at a shop have a single tuner do each car and dyno all same place.

Then we can have a raffle:

Who can count how many coolers the Rotrex kits have?
How many Vortechs have leaky washer bottles and grinding pulleys?
How many non-IC Innovate kits heat soak after 2 runs?
How many quarts of coolant can the Innovate IC kit loose in an hour?
Bonus, which Tuners blow the most motors?

To include you, fruitcake?
