Now, when you add all that up....how much does that cost? Yeah, you can sell but why buy in the first place when it should have been invested in boost from the beginning. Every time you buy and sell, you loose money...regardless. NA and boost are pricey as hell that's why I am staying away because it's worth the money.

But for the money can it produce the numbers of the items in bold That's where the injen and others come in. Some people are modding smart with their money and it's always easier to sell and upgrade a $200 intake later to get an SRT if you've been having more fun than your buddy because you bought a cheaper intake, headers, pulley's and exhaust while he bought.......... an intake.

I like to spend money on better things the first time, but "really good, but not perhaps the ultimate" are still "really good" if you can move that money into something more useful and regulate it.

Thanks
