Technically, according to the dynos I've seen, the Wedge is a better value hp/dollar than most cold air intakes or LT headers. It will definitely be a better hp/dollar than set of ARH headers with a dyno tune. And I don't see anyone saying ARH with a dyno tune is a waste of money...

Yea, and like I said, it ain't for everybody. But that's not what I was getting at. I was addressing your comment that there were "better mods for the money". I just wanted to clear that up. This is one of the better mods for the money. But again, it ain't for everyone.

Wasn't trying to start another bit of drama here...I just hate when someone bashes another just because of their opinion. If I misread the posts I apologize, but after that all he did was call me ignorant for mentioning 1 hp less?? I think it's pretty damn good considering my buddy has a cam and I don't...but I guess you could only get that info if you took the time to read the post.

Again, I apologize if I pissed anybody off...

I haven't been on this web site in some time and after reading part of this thread, I remember why. Back biting like what goes on here has destroyed more than a few web sites. People see this, don't bother posting, and the site slowly dies. These sites are supposed to be enjoyable and educational. This one is neither. Name callers should be banned.

It is what you make it out to be. There is always going to be debates and conflicts. Some like somethings and have strong opinions and facts about it. Others like other things and have strong opinions and facts about it. And the two will collide. But if you notice, us guys over here in tech at least have respect for each other. The guys in General Discussion are the ones always getting banned and suspended. I personally have gotten into several debates with several different members over here in tech. But now these guys are all cool. I have no problems with any of them. If you simply write it off as a horrible experience being here, then you'll gain nothing from being here. Try looking at it in the opposite way.

I agree. I don't even remember what this thread was about, but I'm sure it was fun at the time.
