Message as a kit just as the MASSIVE SMICs and 2.5" piping is a kit.

We are both on the same page - my target market is the people with stock piping and stillen ICs who are looking for something that will make a notable improvement in power above the 600RWHP level.

From my perspective, it is somewhat entertaining to watch how critics will pick apart the results. The results speak for themselves and I made it very clear from the get-go that the comparison was stock piping and stillen ICs VS. 2.5" piping and MASSIVE intercoolers. I never portrayed the results as being solely due to the intercoolers alone and the accusations make it appear like I'm trying to pull blankets over peoples' eyes, of which I am not.

We could have done the test just with changing the intercoolers and it would have told us the benefits of the intercoolers by themselves, but, the idea is to promote the entire kit, not just the intercooler component. Had I done a comparison with just the intercoolers, the critics would have accused me of fraud on the basis that my intercoolers have an advantage due to the 2.5" inlets and outlets vs. the sub 2.0" inlets and outlets of the Stillen ICs. They would have told me to build a set of my MASSIVEs with 2.0" inlets and outlets and test those vs. the Stillen's, or something along those lines. Like the old saying goes, "if it isn't one thing, its another." I covered my butt as best I could and provided all pertinent information about the conditions of the testing and kept the testing as objectively unbiased as I possibly could have. The results showed even more benefit than I had imagined we would see - I only expected to see differences from about 4500RPM and up, but the results clearly show a benefit across the entire RPM band (moreso above 4500RPM). It was a pleasant surprise, to say the least.

Thankyou for your support and understanding - it is appreciated!
