I have the strup.
No dyno yet <--- im lazy
Nice difference on the butt dyno,

The gains are similar in the reported dynos, Install with the strup I think is easier, as you dont have to lift the motor. Not sure on the alphawerks.
THe engine compartment is REALLY REALLY REALLY tight so pay someone unless you own or one of your family owns a shop.

When I installed mine I went to my g/f dads shop and it took a serious 8 hrs. A good 5-6 of work and 2 of screwing around with the hot rods and ****. And one of his workers who was helping me started to get mad at the car as thier are some bolts when trying to get the factory headers off which are a freaking PAIN! My hand still hurts and its been a week already.

Putting it back together was easy except for the center bolt on the top row as you can't get a rachet in there so you need a wrench. Rachet wrenches in a 14mm will save you hours...
