I'll add your remark above as a note underneath the next version of the table (in the table itself I only use normal gas to keep it as comparative as possible). BTW: that torque would be by far the highest torque, all graphs need to be replotted for that. In fact I used your dyno-figures on normal gas as input for the FF275 kit, so you're already in there!
Thanks for pointing it out!

I updated the overview again because of price changes in the S111 SC kit (lower price) and the BWR SC-kit & FF275 (higher prices). The conclusion that ‘The BWR kit is the cheapest solution for an increase in WHP and ft-lbs (peak and average race)’ is still valid, however the difference with the S111 Katana has become smaller.

Also it looks like a new SC-kit with intercooler (called NewCo SC w/IC for now in the overview in post #1) will become available (New SC Kit.).
Based on the published dyno’s in the test phase of this kit, I included this kit in the overview. Based on this it looks like ‘the best bang for the buck’-award will go to this kit.

Update made: removed the Katana version with smaller pulleys because this turned out to be an unhealthy long term solution.
Added the 2zz Rotrex kit.
