Who has a Kleemann K1 Kit?

Curious to know how many people have the Kleemann K1 kit. No more than just the K1. Wanted to know if you think it is worth it. Did you notice a material difference (off the line, from a rolling start,etc.)? Any good kill stories of situations where you raced and lost and got the K1 and wupped *ss.

First day i got my k1 installed i raced my buddy mustang 4 times,and beat him 3-4 in my favour,he had headers, ecu upgrade,pullies etc.The only reason he won was b/c my car went into a limp mode for i/c pump failure,scare the hell out of me,next i ran a lightening truck twice,winning both races,then i ran an oldsmobile with two shot nos and slicks,my car spun real bad but i went back and got him.
The only problem i am having,is the car hooking up at launch.T car have a tendancy of breaking the rear tires to the left(much more power than stock).
So what did i do?adding more power by having k2 installed presently along with the i/c johnson pump to help me keep a cool head,and a lsd to keep me straight............if i like it as much as i did the k1,then k4 here i comes.No , i will not do the k3 (cams)first,i will go straight to the k4(t/b).Corey at kleenmann advice me on going that route first.
