I strongly believe the market results will speak for themselves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Ford tuning workshops are starting to see the real benifits. as this increases it will be easier for the retail market to accept.

I realise all the r&d that's gone into it over many years, but 1700 odd dollars is a lot for what it is. Similar performance external surges can be had for 1000-1400. In my eyes the current price will inhibit its impact into the market, which is a shame.Do you guys ever have any specials going? I'll jump on board straight away as soon as the price comes down a little. Edited 26/10/14 08:06 AM by demon1300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaton Donating Members 537 Member For: 12y 3m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/10/14 10:35 AM Share Posted 26/10/14 10:35 AM Got to agree. I would spend the extra. Just for the cleanliness of it alone. No extra stuff bolted to the car. I really like to just keep it simple... Instead of adding extra parts to the car unless it's essential. When I buy car parts now, I ask myself, in 6 months time will I wish I just paid that bit more? Answer is always yes, for me anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll jump on board straight away as soon as the price comes down a little.Completely agree, $1700 is not good value regardless of how solid the product is.Why can't you just make a simple bracket and put your fuel pump in a metal bucket with a few holes drilled at the bottom?What is the breakdown of that $1700? Sure there was no doubt R&D put into it, but I don't really think a product as simple as this had more than 2-3 iterations so it could not have been that much.How many percent is the markup?
