The epoxy that Kong uses is stronger than the aluminum that it replaces, so I'd rather have epoxy than thin aluminum. I have an X-Port on my car and have road course tracked the car several times with it.

Are you doing anything besides the X port to help with cooling?

Yes. I have Weapon-X center and aux heat exchangers, Boost freeze chiller, and a PWR oil cooler. The chiller doesn't really do anything on track, it is mostly for the street in the Texas heat.

I bought my Kong X-port during a black Friday deal, and it took 14 days till it was back at my house. I checked the tracking number, and it took 6 days just to get there, so very fast turnaround in my opinion.

I’ve been running the X Port for about a year and half with no issues.

I think that's why a lot of shops use Kong. He's got a more business-oriented approach with shorter turn times, I've heard.

I went with Kong last week. I'm in CT so fast shipping.
Removed and shipped on Wednesday arrived Thursday receive 6 days later Wednesday. Amazing customer service he text me showing me isolator issues, I text him follow up questions he answered quickly. Highly recommended.

Greg at Kong has always been great to deal with. Have done a few LT4 units with him and he has a 2650 for a combo I'm building right now. Much more customer service focused then the others. Synergy use to be awesome, but Rick sold the company and is no longer there.
