So right now I have very little miles and its best to start early and have it running without any issues (hopefully) for ~ more 3 years.

I know there are quite a bit of choices, and I am going to look around, but this is at the top of my list for now.
Which kit are you looking at BTW? The 445hp kit I assume? If so, keep in mind that kit is rated at 445hp / 408 ft-lb of torque at the engine. Its probably going to put out 375-385rwhp. To be quite honest with you, that would not have been enough power for me, and I am not as crazy as most of these guys. I wouldn't be sitting here happy with my blower purchase if I had 30-40 less whp. Especially when you consider the price difference...

True, but I guess its a trade off. Warranty or power :P

Hehe, you always always NOS the SC and have fun from there :P

Strange. FRPP site says 400hp. And I believe that's crank.

Just saw that.

Turns out the one at Lethal is a kit. Not sure what all the differences are. But Lethal's is 6 pounds of boost instead of the standard 5. That probably accounts for the difference.

Called up JDM and spoke more about the kit that I was interested in. Anyway, they stated, like before - 11 hours worth of work, plus LCA and UCA install. Plus mid-pipe and exhaust. It will come out to 14 hours worth of labor for a total of $1400 :/ That price is not including taxes or the SC itself (around $5800).

Also, I did not factor in gauge install or prices.

This is turning out to be very interesting...

Honestly, I would think a good set of accurate gauges would be as good, or better, than any warranty you get on an S/C...

I am starting to agree with everything everyone said here, all it took was some reading and time (stuff I didn't have time to do at work).
