Differences - 2006 310 hp vs. 2009 290 hp kit - MC Express Apex

[PistonBroke]

Hey guys,

I am wondering - what are the fundamental technical differences between the 310HP MC-Express kits shipped in 2006, and the newest "290 HP" kit that's out for 2008-2009?

Any help is appreciated,

My understanding is that the std kit must be safe and functional for everyday use, and when upgrades is done you come closer to the margins.
1: 310hp kit was an upgrade incl. a fuelpump for the std 260hp basic kit, 310hp stood for max hp the Mitsubishi 16T charger is suitable for.
2: 290hp kit is now the std kit, the fuelpump is included and the charger is upgraded to an Mitsubishi 19T.
3: If you want to upgrade an 290hp kit the charger chokes @ about 340hp, no need for HW upgrades, only fuel with enough octane for the boost.

I'd say about 20hp.

Sorry, I had to. But really I have no Idea
