when you say "on top of the kbox"... do you mean that its effect is super imposed on the kleeman kit which includes the k-box?

The K-box is a piggy back unit with limitations - software tinkering/engineering within the DME equates to a more precise tune. SI improved what the K-BOX cannot. One example, have you ever seen a piggy-back unit remove the V-MAX speed limiter?

How can this value essentially be changed by a hot and ground wire? Shift points? I still have my KBOX, but would've never been satisfied with it alone.

How much is the SI ECU Tune... I was going to order the Kleeman Kit and now that this thread is here I may do the SI tune... I have also been talking with ASP and they said they can research making a pulley kit for the M271 if I bring in a ECU Tune such as the K-Box... I was thinking about buying the Kleeman Kit and taking the Car to them and see if the can get more out of the SC then the kleeman...
