14psi 1.7L KB KIT - Questions for those running it

I am thinking of switching from my current vortech setup to this (I am currently putting out 524rwhp/462rwtq). I am not much into drag racing, i just wanted a 500rwhp+ daily driver that was smog legal and fun to drive, I do mostly in town driving. I havent been all that impressed with the initial burst of the vortech, which is understandable since it doesnt create peak boost until up top. I have heard many good things about this kit and i think it would satisfy my need to be faster down low (stoplight to stoplight type deal, fun, quick little bursts). The only thing i have heard that is negative is heat. How bad is the heat soak for a cruiser that doesnt see boost all that often? Is there any aftermarket products available yet to help with it (like the 03 Cobra).

I was told this is the site to ask all KB questions.
Thanks for help!

Cool, thanks for that info.

Dan - yes i have a built bottom end, blower cams, ported heads. I am currently putting out 524rwhp/462rwtq but i am unhappy with the low end performance of the vortech. I dont really like the price tag of the 2.2L ( by the time you add the 8 rib setup, electric water pump, etc), so if thats the case then i will probably just upgrade a T trim and throw on some bigger injectors and fuel rails.
