I have had the kit running for a few days now and I just wanted to make a few comments about it. The weather is clear here now and the roads are dry, so I have had more opportunities to tear it up and really test this new setup out. (Yes I tested it in the snow, ice, and rain/slush, it worked well then too :) ) When I had my SMC kit before I was constantly worried about the line being properly primed. Each morning when I assumed the line was low on pressure or empty, I would gently roll on the throttle to hit the trigger point so the line would pressurize, or I would hit the test button. If I did not do this, I would get knock the first time I hit WOT, and it was a bit scary really. Also when I would roll on the throttle, hit the trigger point, then let off there would be this fuzzy area where the car would stumble a bit, it was not aweful but still noticeable.
The Aquamist kit is SO SMOOTH. Rolling on/off throttle is a dream, just perfect. No hesitation, no stumbling, etc. I was really pining over whether to get the HFS-1 or HFS-5 and I have to say the HFS-1 is REALLY good value for this very point. On the line pressurizing point, yes, the aquamist is constantly ready to rock. This morning I was on the phone as I left the house (biz call) and so I was driving the car gently for the first few miles. I hung up and after getting onto a long entrance ramp to another major freeway, I grabbed 4th and just nailed it. I did this consciously, making sure to not activate the alky at all prior to this. I was really kind of crossing my fingers, but alas, ZERO knock, and again, SO SMOOTH. Just BAM the car hits 26psi and off she goes!
Vacation is coming up, but spring is here, dyno results sometime in the next few weeks!
