Right about there a KS system becomes rather important. There are people
who Don't use the KS system with 10-1 CR and think they're just fine. At
least there's no obvious problems, or so they think. For a little while
at least. 
Most people ive spoken to who didn't have it later installed the KS
because they developed problems with detonation ect.
