What Doug said.

It seems to me they're both about neck-and-neck until you start getting past about 10 psi or something. Crowley's gotten great numbers out of his car with the Maggy and a little more boost. I really don't know there's going to be a difference unless your goal is to eventually push past 700 horse'. If you're just going to be running low boost, there's little to no big difference.

I like the points about intake and fuel. I know it won't take much to run CAI on the Maggy, but you loose their warranty and can get into smog isssues, if you live in certain areas. The KB is (or already has and I haven't noticed) seeking to pass the smog issues but already has a great complete intake system that's upgradable with a huge filter. The fuel is addressed, to a point, with the KB.

I know where I want to be with power, and it's going to come down to price, really, for me. I know I'll be able to get more power out of the box with the KB (due to the points above) and there's probably going to be a little more headroom with the KB, but I'll never get there, so it's not too big a deal.

I really wanted to see a good, fair, apples-to-apples comparison. Monitor boost, IATs, parasitic losses, power, torque, and all that other stuff. I'm in the same boat as Doug in that I'm looking to learn a lot more from less bias points of view. If we could only get the $$$ for all the trouble for Jannetti to do something like this, LOL!!!
