Message	If you figure in a cost of a nistune and a boost controller and a knock detecter, or traction control, or launch control... etc etc etc. Obviously if you already have a boost controller this math doesn't exactly work, but from a clean slate, the standalone is not as much extra as it appears. Antihero Putting AMS garbage, and $500 ebay wheels on a Z is like dressing a Victorias Secret model in a Walmart dress and Payless shoes. You're embarrassing yourself.
