I am looking at like this I have stage one right now I was orginally going to with upgrading to stage 3 which brand new is like 4k or damn near it and this kit will put some serious hp down for basically half the price, I am a cheap bastard and this appeals to a cheap bastard.....
I agree there. I suppose I could sell a huge chunk of mods and get the complete kit but I'm really interested in the "Kit" not the "Complete" system. I just came to this thread hoping to find out about spool times.

For supporting mods, should an upgraded fmic be added to the list?...or is the stocker safe for the S3D complete?....Also Im thinking most people will probably take this to the drag strip...is the stock clutch going to hold up with the 40lb. wheel kit with street tires?? Also here we are in '08..some of these people might be running around with srt's with 80,000+ miles on an original fuel filter Im sure..might be a good side note to C.Y.A.
My last question....At what wheel size&boost level do you need to look into meth injection? Id like to achieve the highest boost levels and HP without needing anything but what is offered in your complete kit on 93 pump gas for now.
well shit, thanks for making my life even harder to choose. As far as temptation goes, you guys have my bet for this kit. I'm at Stage 1 with ALL the supporting mods accept the 3" exhaust. I'm still at the mopar 2.5" catback. When my bonus finally gets here... next week hopefully i would pick this bad boy up!
My questions are will the stock fuel rail be alright or will a bigger one be needed? Also how much would a return line help out on this kit? I'm really intrested because i'm looking to buy a bigger turbo setup and i was originaly going to go with the 50 trim setup. Which is the better buy HP wise?

The stock rail is actually quite good. 98% of the people out there will never need to touch their stock fuel rail.
A return line will be needed around 430 hp or so. It may vary slightly from setup to setup, but generally around that horsepower mark you'll get to a point where you won't be able to keep your air/fuels in a safe range without bumping up your fuel pressure.
For some of the above unanswered questions, it is always good to upgrade your factory fmic, even on a stock turbo. The stock unit is prone to heat soaking very quickly, and it doesn't flow very well.
The stock clutch is designed for the stock power levels in mind. Driving habits will decide when and how fast a clutch will wear out. If you baby the car and never launch it, you may make it last a long time. If you launch the car and floor it everywhere, you'll burn through your stock clutch very quickly.
is it absolutly pivotal to have the CAI or do you need just to make the numbers you claim. The reason why I am asking is that I live in Cali and I want to stay as discrete as possible under the hood.
Now if this wasn't making enough power for me and i threw on the 50 trim would it make more power with this same set up? Also is there a base time at the track with this set up or does no one have it on and tracked it yet?
