Ok, looking for some hard numbers: AWE RSK04 vs. Homebrew
I've been doing a lot of searching lately as I am planning on pulling my engine this month for my K04 install and stage 3+ project. The STFA i full of posts stating that homebrew kits produce more power than the AWE RSK04 kit. None have hard numbers though. So...
Can anyone give me a hard number comparison of horsepower/torque figures for these:
1. AWE RSK04 Fueling Kit (without manifolds)
2. Homebrew (ABox, Straight K04's, Green Giant Injectors, VAST RS4 MAF)
Thanks.

It's all in the tweaking. But not using the stepped MAF is a plus. "I beleive" your tweaking
becomes easier. with a Jacob or ASP type MAF and I would probably look at some of the better injector choices now available.
And those rims look good on your car

Here is a pretty good comparo...
ABox GIAC K03 X
-1.5 Degrees Timing
96 Oct
20PSI
RS4 MAF
Greentop Injectors
Plane Jane K04s
Piggie DPs w/ No Cats
Miltek Single 3"
Open Element Intake
November 2005
71F
Netted Me:
12.21 @ 117.8 with a 1.98 60'
12.26 @ 117.1 with a 2.0 60'
12.3x @ 116.x with a 2.0 60'
12.45 @ 116.x with a 2.1 60'
The Mbox AWE Setups I have seen lately are trapping about 115 on race gas at best, that were around my weight. I weighed in last month (same setup as track) at 3510 BONE DRY on a Dot approved scale.
Bang for the buck I would go homebrew. Shimon would help you out with whatever questions you ever have. Piece of mind I would go ASP. I wouldnt think of going with AWE over either of teh two.
Choice #1 - Homebrew
Choice #2 - ASP
That is if you like tweaking though.

While I fully recommend ASP, it's also what's closest to you. If a local shop
sells, installs, and supports the AWE kit, that might be a good way to go, too. I know AWE is in Pennsylvania (right?), so they would do a bang-up job for you. Although, ASP isnt' too far away...
