When I was contemplating my swap, Jay took me aside and warned me that it would probably mean maintainence etc every other month.[right][snapback]345582[/snapback][/right]

I had very bad luck but have not had a maintenance issue in nearly 6 months after getting the bugs worked out (although i do have a little shifting grimlin that rears its ugly head every few weeks - I think its motor mount wear and have purchased some urethane to correct it).

And, by the way, my comments were given to you in confidence. I am surprised you mentioned it.

hmmm so the kit itself is 3500 all in all. thats not that bad. does it come with anything for engine management? if it does then that'd be worth the money on a healthy running 5sfe. someone go buy it! >> id like to know what this SC kit can do.

Yes, it comes with the Ripp Mods black box. It comes pre-tuned to be reliable for the engine.

So is this dead? No one is interested in the SC? Jen, Romano, bboyrugged? Mac?

I just want to know if its possible to get the five people. If not, then the 5sfe program at Ripp will be shut down and it will not be possible to get it later. Its sad to see such a great product die from our aftermarket community.
