Good idea to go that route if you can swing the up front cost.
Buying bits here and there WILL end up costing more, and all you end up with is a full set of bits and pieces, rather than a proven/debugged combination of QC'd parts.[/quote]
Yeah, and since posting that, I went back and dug deeper into the website. Looks like the EFI is a goner with the 175HP kit. Along with the other things that will cost money. I think it will run close to $8K with shipping to Japan and me not being able to return the cores.
Quite a bit more expensive than I planned. But isn't it always that way?
