Actually, the reason for my post was more to alert anyone who might be looking for something like this. Sorry.

sounds like airplane
can't believe i'm going around defending HPS (I dislike the company so much i ground their logo off of my outlet pipe) but you guys should do your homework or not post!
the 1st gen. kit needs a few tweaks, but it's nothing major and the knowledge is here on this forum for what it needs.
Do any of you have direct experience?

To me you sound like a hypocrite.
I'm calling the guy and offering 3500 for it. My friend who is a tech from Flector Jones will install it. HPS told me they would give me full support.

I did. The Gen 1 kit works if it is a complete kit. I think some guys might have bought used kit. Where there are missing or broketn parts. Or tried to get more power and then caused more problems. I used be one of those guys.
What I do need is if I get a kit is 4 wheel dyno with a/f. Do you know anyone in OC (Newport Beach area)

If you dislike the company so much, then why do you owe it? I know if I dislike a company so much I would want nothing from it.

i own it because i picked up a used kit for the right price. I hate the company because they were worse than no help in every piece of contact I had with them and were dishonest. I don't see an inconsistency.
if you buy the kit or have questions prior to doing so I will gladly let you know what tweaks I've made.
the collective experience on the forum is much greater than HPS full 'SUPPORT'-
