There stuff is decent it is not the best nor the worst. I would rate them Midgrade on a level from junk/waste of money -to- best part $$$ can buy

what happened to your engine? Can you really attribute the failure to your head/cam package?

How do you know it wasnt a botched install? or did they do it? What kind of engine management do you have?

I am looking at their 68mm thottle body. One thing they did was to remove the water lines. They claim that it keeps the air cooler.

you can plug those water lines yourself with some ball bearings and achieve the same effect

that makes sense, i guess you really only need that radiator fluid to run though the throttle body if you live in an area that gets freezing temperatures.
