I feel all areas have been address'd rather nicely. The Performance is solid and proven, the fittment it bolts up rather easy, the appearance has had no complaining so that one is good, costing the kit is affordable.
All in all the look of a kit is as important as the performance of that kit. If the kit gives you another 10hp but looks like crap, is a pain in the backside to fit, and you have to move alot of stuff to make it work. Well that is not a kit we will build or sale.
We will be testing the larger DP and IF it yeilds more power then we will add an upgrade option to the package. That is why we are testing different options.

One more item for your list: CLEAN THAT ENGINE BAY ALREADY!
Other than that, Nice progress!

You may gain some on the top end but i think the bottom end might suffer alittle. Unless you are making some huge power the 3" will probably do fine.

At 800hp I can gain 20hp by adding 1 degree of ignition advance too. I can make 1000fwhp with a 3" downpipe and still have no concerns for high p/r's.
