I gotta paint my calipers, I should have done it last Friday, but I was in a bit of a rush to get something else done since my unofficial sponsor hooked me up with a free caliper paint kit 
I actually need to contact them about decals for the show. They're probably swamped and I will have to go plain-Jane. 
Maybe you could put a word into your "unofficial" sponsor for a brutha.
I'm still rolling with a huge DG.com on the hardtop.

I took it off this weekend and put the stock one back on. I'm going to try to get some good numbers(before/after) for Stratocaster. I'm also going to try to polish it up before SEMA next week. And yes, I have learned that you need to wipe down the header w/ rubbing alcohol to get the oils from your hands off or they will turn the piping colors.

It has gains in the low-mid and loses a little in the top when tested on a naturally-aspirated S2000.

The first run is sold out. I think they had 20 of them. Price(I think) was around $700 for the initial run. It's definitely lighter than stock. It has gains in the low-mid and losses a little in the top when tested on a naturally-aspirated S2000.

Personal opinion with the comptech setup.. worth it or not?

AEM EMS is not the same price as the Mugen header though... it's more. Why? 'Cause you don't just buy the unit,; you buy a wideband, gauges, tuning time, etc.
Then again, you found that out w/ the sc install.
