t looks to me like the Jacksons are making kits that can be lived with in a car that sees daily driver use.... Jackson Racing has been around for a long time,has made kits for a lot of different cars and is probably interested in having customers that will return as customers because they were able to enjoy their cars with a performance increase that will not create problems, like melt downs..... I imagine that they can advise you in racing applications also..... I believe that these kits are a great way to have a streetable car without the kind of compromises that more boost and power will create.

I wish I could help you with a maximum. The Jacksons are very phone friendly and would be willing to answer your questions. As for a 12 Lb. pulley, there has been no mention of one that I am aware of in any of the literature I have read.... Give them a call, they are good people and can answer your questions.

I really just want to know what the F is going on with the high-boost kit. Because if it makes good enough power like a turbo, ~150whp, I'll get it rather than save for a K20

Be patient friend.... Rest assured that when they are ready to release it, it is going to be right...... It seemed forever before the 5 PSI kit was released but even it was worth the wait.

guys dont forget a k series gearbox is geared more for perfomance than ours are. so we may have the same hp in the end as a stock k20a2 but our gearing is not near as nice.

come on highboost kit! hopefully it comes out before i just do this liquid to air ic with all the fancy wiggins clamps.

The high boost reflash raises the rev limiter and it should have a broader power band. There is always close ratio gear sets and different final drive gearing available.
