...including yourself...
this crap has gotten way out of proportion, and until someone will step up and be the bigger man, this bickering like little school children will never end - don't you people realize that other people like me (who are just looking for information on various kits to make an educated decision about a $7k investment) don't want to hear this **** on every frickin' post about the APS or TS kits?
end it already...

Hang in there Mia. It's good to see everything is running and looking good. I will be joining you soon with some dyno numbers to boot. My car was running a little lean so the PC had to be sent out again. I have an 02 model so there's been a couple of necessary tweaks. Take care and I hope the personal stuff works out!!
For all of you with other kits, comparisons, negative thoughts, etc. keep it out of this thread, let the guy enjoy his new toy for god's sake.

Churchs is a great shop. The guy over there is REALLY knowledgeable as well. As for number I do have some but as stated before I am not at liberty to release them as they are for the summer issue of Sport Z mag. Jim is correct we are trying to get something together down here.
