If you're going to do something, do it right. Something like that still requires effort/money to tune your car to run it, and I'd have a hard time believe that it would in any way be worth the investment.

Knight SC has been talked about before on a couple of threads. Ultimately weight and necessary maintanence of the batteries offset its performance and cost. I've resigned my self to the opinion that our cars are not worth the cost for FI, $4200 for the lowest end system is just too expensive. This is just the way I feel, so I have no intention of debating my point.

Read the Knight SC pages ...all of them. The most useful info i found out was how to reduce weight on the car which is to remove that heavy *** dampning stuff under the carpet. Yes, it reduces noises but according to them it's like 60lbs off if you take it out? I dunno...but turbo is the way to go. My last car ummm...it was a teggy but anyways was turbo'd when i bought it. I love my N/A set up and yes I loose a lot of ummm..."Races". But if your going to go F/I it's gotta be turbo. Don't even dream of SC our 2.4 w/a 2.0L bolt up. It won't work anyways. Otter made a good point and i say +1
