My goal is a humble 220-230 rwhp. The Katana and other M62 based kits can achieve this, but they lack the headroom of the TVS blower. I love the efficiency of the TVS as well, so I'd prefer to start there and skip the M62 all together.
Do you offer anything in the way of a "base" kit that would meet my power goals for now but be uprageable in the future? Something sans 9.0 CR pistons, EFI, and the other supporting mods required to make 280 rwhp.

Low comp pistons are not required and certainly don't help make MORE power. They just help to keep the engine together
... Could always detune it down to 230whp if you want....

Edit: In addition... I track my car 2-3 times a month from April to October. I know some folks track alot but a LOT if not MOST folks who track may hit the esses 3-4 times a year... If the latter applies, then one could easily make the case to stick with stock pistons and head and just cross your fingers that all will be OK (keep in mind stock engines are breaking valve stems, so.........). On the other hand, if you find that you're putting well over 1,000 miles a year on the track, then you really should just STOP, replace your valves, valve springs, and pistons before something lets loose and causes some serious damage. Will be a very well spent 2 grand...
