Do we have to buy a kit?

By my math that whole KoP = $2000.

Since (assuming the rules don't change) you must use the current year's IFI control system then you would start off with a $1150 purchase. Now consider that you will probably need to use at least a few of the motors, Victors, Spikes, at a minimum then it just really doesn't make sense. For that $2000 you get about $17,000 of stuff.

This is the best point in this whole thread. The cost of the KOP, which is apparently $2000, is less than or equal to the cost of the parts you are required to use, and substantially less when you add in what most everybody uses (CIM motors, several Victors). So, I think you're probably better off just getting the KOP.
