Just wait until June 16th when all the group buy kits are shipped. Hard numbers will be posted. The kit looks like it has lots of potential if installed and tuned correctly.
Here is a good writeup on the Vericom unit I found while looking into how accurate it was: Click me
For 55 give or take, is not worth 2200 dollars.
I am also waiting to see what it produces on the dyno. If it produces decent numbers. I might be ordering this kit.

It's 55 hp from a gtech on an ATX car.
I woudl also say 55 hp is def worth 2200...
Tell me a better way to get those kind of gains spending less or the same elsewhere?!

55HP not worth $2200? Wow, check this math:
Thomas Knight S/C
$2200/55HP = $40/HP
MAF
$300/5HP = $60/HP
Headers
$1200/15HP = $80/HP
By my math, that is leaps above the other mods.

as far as i know the TK kit doesnt go anywhere near the headers. Its tucked over by the fender, and the way they have their piping routed, goes up and over the back of the motor  .

Well i was thinking going 3l would be a better gain overall.
For half that amount. 1k would be perfect. Maybe we forgot about that in this topic.
I guess if it was upward towards 75hp. I would be willing to dump 2200 into this kit.
