I'd have to agree with you on the cost, I'm all for more power, but at $3k
I can live without it, and besides, I'm just not really into cutting a
hole in the hood of my ride. Besides, afraid I might lose some of my
low-end torque which I really need for the towing and 4-wheeling I do.
How exactly does it affect your low-end torque and Hp anyway, I've always
wondered that.
