I have to disagree with the ease of installation of the KB. You have to cut a softball size hole in you engine bay for the air intake pipe. I guess it's not that it's difficult, but I didn't want to do that to my car. That's as far as I read of the installation instructions....I now have a TVS.
I love the cool factor of the TT setup, but you also get a lot of under hood heat to go with it and relocating the ECM doesn't look fun.
I think the reason a TVS w/100 less HP is as fast as a centrifugal w/100 more is because of the difference in torque. New gears and a stall just isn't necessary if your making good torque. A centrifugal is easier on the drivetrain and probably won't break stuff as often.
Just my $.02.
