What you are seeing, are people paying GOOD money for this kit and then having to invest thousands more in water/meth, MAF tube fabrications, engine managment, a new heat exchanger etc.
Then, to make matters worse...I have not seen one official pettit car do anything with this kit other than fly down the street with a christmas tree of dash lights.

What???
Anything I added to my Pettit SC kit was solely done out of my own will and pursuing personal improvements to my RX8. That goes with the suspension, intercooler, engine cooling system, drive train, looks and bling-bling. The SC kit if just fine out of the box and that included free upgrades like the Pettit MAF tube, free advice from the shop owner (not just on his SC kit but many other issues), open door policy every time I go visit Pettit (a four hour drive) and honest feedback calls from Cam himself about his product. The meth kit is optional and last time I checked it cost less than $600 including extra optional components, shipping and boost juice.
I’m not an official Pettit car but just in case you haven’t seen the many other previously posted videos of my Pettit Racing Super Charged RX8 grab a cold one and a couple of ding dongs sit back and enjoy.

FL must be boring. Within maybe 50 miles of me, there are at least 10 greddy turbos, 1 or 2 pettit SC, 2 Esmeril turbo cars, 1 (soon to be 2 but he might not be within 50 miles) Mazsport turbo cars, and a couple customs. These are cars I know of. The number for FI 8s in the area is like 3 to 4 times that. I've been getting people yelling at me on the highway about how their other car is a turbo/SC 8 or they are looking at XYZ kit.

I actually quit going to local RX-8 meets because no one had anything modified besides rims or body kits.
The biggest Rx-8 meet I've been to was at the WC Mazda dealership, and the only other modified car there was BluMonster's.

I don't know if I'd say that Rx-8 modifications are more common up hear because people make more money. A lot of the heavily modified 8 owners I know of (like myself) just tend to spend every penny on the car rather than anything else. Of course, there are some owners with some nice bankrolls to work with. The Tuesday night near me is small - 10ish 8s and 6 of them would be body kitted and maybe 2 turbo'ed. If I go to the Flemington meet, there are 8ish 8s with 2 turbo, 1 sc and half kitted.

That rotary event in Kissimmee earlier this month is a good example. 6 RX-8s showed up, about ten times as many RX-7s showed up. There were more 3-Rotor RX-7s (4) there than FIed RX-8s (only 3, all Pettit). I think BluMonstr really wanted to show up to that one but he had to work, and his car was at Mazsport.
Central Florida needs more FIed 8s.

are you kidding? where has there ever been a "complete kit". people who invest this amount of money and time on their cars never leave them alone! Therefore it is never complete.
use the cars---ouuuuuu hmmm were is that vid of me on the track at roebling--the one where i was catching that Roar car.
See thT IS HOW IT IS-- people(probably good people ) say things without really knowing.

Thank goodness it was diet coke and not beer. That would it been devastating and unforgiving. BTW the last two beer cans of the 100+ you left at home last time you came over are schedule for drinkish tomorrow along with some Bacardi Coco mixed with pineapple juice since today is my work Friday.
and just diet coke was odd it is almost alway rum and diet coke..

Please make sure you call me before pulling into my driveway so I can disable my driveway Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) security system.

If you guys are so weary of making MM/Jeff a focal point of conversation why don't you just ignore him?
Face it; we humans are magnets for drama and the controversy is giving many of us something by which we may be entertained/humored.
As far as our money ending up in the pockets of people for whom we have no respect; I guess we all better start interviewing every person who works for the companies with which we do business so we can make sure that every employee they have is somebody we agree with or, at least, can tolerate. Lest we provide sustenance for yet another "*******".

Blow off valves
In the interest of trying to bring something useful to everyone, I just bought this BOV from an eBay vendor:

The vendor has hi volume and good feedback on parts; I'll post my impression of it when I get it. FYI, I used the "Make Offer" option, started lowball, and kept iincreasing $5 at a time until I hit at $50 plus shipping; the one I bid on, however, was priced at $59.95 for "Buy It Now", the new batch is "$64.95.
