As, I have said before that the weakest link in a race engine are the hands that puts it in.
If the manufacturer cares at all about the end user, he will not make the mistake of flooding the market by handing out his product freely to any and every tom, dick & harry in order to make a quick profit.

i believe the JWT is no safer than the other kits.. well maybe the greddy because the of the emanage timing issue.. but otherwise..
Jim has a survey going.. and he is controlling the results

As I said.....my motor going was due to oil consumption... not the JWT TT kit...i still plan to use the JWT KIT on my new motor.....keep your eyes and ears open.....I have some "plans" for her!!!
Big Thanx to Julian @ MRC for taking time out this moring to diagnose my problem and offer to help me knowing my current financials.

then guess what.. the kit isn't any safer than any other kit... like i said.. if you wish to find out how good that kit is.. have any tom, dick and harry install and tune it... just like any other manufactuer does

Allowing only dealers to sell/install not only ensures he has qualified people doing installs but also creates a loyalty from the shops as they know not every tom/dick/harry will be whoring out the kits just to make 10 bucks as it can be seen with other manufacturers so from a shop's standpoint it is a refreshing way of operating.

We are upgrading fuel line, injectors, actuators, exhaust, and i have the Utech to tune it with.

DIY, can be fun but only for the experienced. And I don’t mean just to install, as there are other factors that governs the overall performance & reliability factor. Furthermore, without the proper tools and calibrating equipment it could become a nightmare. But if you have the money and the time, anything goes.
Seriously, I know of dealers that had initial problems with the APS kit when the kit first made its debut, during an installation the screw went right through the fuel tank; just one of those things. And others like nicking the radiator fins during install, etc.
