see where this is going? I would guess safely over 30 on any well-tuned/maintained 2.8 12V. Maybe closer to 40 on a similarly prepared early AAH car. Maybe more, maybe less but in that ballpark.

None of that phoney discounting with "package deals." All my prices are ala-carte save for the 90 CAI/velocity stack combo which I do to save packaging costs (for me & the environment) & shipping costs (for the buyer), ie; one box is cheaper than two. But thats the only combo that receives it as evertyhing other than those two items ship in a "one-size-fits-all" box. And why should someone with deeper pockets benefit while someone on a budget pay a penalty!?! Thats counter-productive and Republican-ish. Takes me just as much time/effort to make every piece I offer so selling "packaged deals" for less just hurts me and the person who can least afford it. And it compromises the value I place on my time.

Additionally it keeps people from competing with me on my own parts, ie; if I gave a 10 or 15-20% discount for a kit that allows them to now sell my parts individually for 5 or 7.5-10%less than I do and make a profit either on unwanted parts from the kit or purely a a way to make money. Not prudent business. I think I offer an incredible, quality product at a VERY fair/reasonable price as-is.

I have a 96 A4 and I don't want to crack open the engine. My goal is to get it to 220 hp. Which was at one point hard to do. But, since you have come along, I think I can achieve my goal. I just want enough to scare the Civics who think they got something and enough to put a smile on my face when I'm by myself - riding alone that is!
