Rep Power: 0 do you have any other kits, or any plans in the future, to come out with a D17 engine build kit that could have us running up to around 15psi?
:edit:
I should state this another way. Do you guys plan on coming out with pre-put together kits that allow our D17's to handle x amounts of boost? Like you stated, the kit that you have listed would let us run 12-13psi of boost, Call it the stage 1 internals kit. I'm looking into prepping my engine to run around 15psi next summer, do you plan on making some sort of package deal so we could run this safely?

Ive read a little about these engine upgrades, and I know that some people are running there engines at 8psi without these upgrades and with stock engines. So are these upgrades really necessary or are these for people who will be pushin 10lb+ daily?

If you had atleast the pistons & rods, you would be able to run 12+ PSI daily.
