Fuel delivery only becomes an issue if you push the engine all the time (racing) I only have been to Bandimere 2 times and it was not an issue. For spirited street driving the fule system is sufficient. If you want to be the fastest you can get all kinds of tips from people on this site. You can go as fast as you can afford. But if you don't want to break things keep to the tried and ture mods well documented on this site.
I really want to order the DCAI, but Rob hasn't replied to my emails. I think I'll go with the separation kit and DCAI for now(if I can ever get a hold of Rob), add the cooler/pump later, my pump appears to have been replaced recently. I'd love to hook up next time you run Bandimere! I'm always up for a trip to Cripple Creek as well! Do you have any other SLKs in the crossfire club?
Are there any needswings alternatives? I would like to have my intake by next weekend... considering this solution from maxcichon, although its not quite as sexy as the needswings DCAI:

If I DIY I can still afford a cooler and pump
The separation kit looks easy enough to fab, but I'd really rather just spend the money on tested parts.
