Unless that was just someone's mediocre upgrade it was probably the actual factory Red box. They had a couple of resistor changes and more aggressive pot settings and came with a 2.8 fuel pressure regulator and an 010 distributor. I'd have to agree with you that all that is a lot for an extra 10 HP and you're right they did recommend higher octane fuel, my Euro C900 even came with a sticker that indicated that. A box with a red shell is worth something for nostalgia but not $200! Also what most people don't realize is that our Erik P. modified APC's are way beyond any DIY mods, they even do what a boost controller does and even better and you still have total knock protection. Erik says "think of the waste gate as being welded shut until it's told to open"! Anyway our Stage II APC with a 3 bar FPR comes out less that $9 per 1 hp and you get 4 times the power of what the factory upgrade was! Take care, Dave
