    Hydro Tec Phase II kit opinions or experience

    I have a ZX185 with a carb 150 VMAX and I am thinking of putting a Hydro Tec Phase II Kit on it I was wondering what some people's opinion was? Will it affect the reliability of my engine? What kind of increase in speed can I expect? Are they worth the money? Any other thoughts or opinions are welcomed.
    Thank You

    I actually have but it has been awhile back. I need to call him again now that it's winter and I'm ready to do something. Lol But I still would like to hear of anyone else's experiences with the kits.

    Been there with a 2000 ZX200 carb...went from 68 to 74.4gps...hole shot terrific...
    it turned a 27 pitch 5,700rpms...you will run with many 200s after the kit IMHO.

    Was it still reliable? Did your fuel mileage go way down ?

    I had no issues but sold it for a 2006 ZX200...just do not get cute with the engine height...do not exceed 5,700rpms and all should be well...
