Message: [QUOTE="windrunner408, post: 775060, member: 1868"] Lance, I see where you're coming from man. It makes sense. I guess at the end of the day (for me), I go a little over board on my "6.0 performance journey". I like to understand why/how things operate so I can gauge my expectations accordingly and (more importantly) should I have a problem (which is a VERY high possibility) I know where to look. And with the lack of information out there combined with the myriad of problems when operating in the performance realm, I'm not a guy that is going to just take "some mfg's word" that their product will do what they say it will do. This is the "aftermarket/performance world" man. Things more often than not, don't go the way you planned/hope they would so in the end the one who is ultimately responsible for getting your truck to the point you want it to be at is you (regardless of who you pay). This is why most of the stuff on my truck has been built/put together by me. I guess if you want to call me a "backyardigan" you can, but I at least know what I have in my truck. I know roughly what to expect from it in terms of performance. And if I have a problem with it, I know who to blame and where to look. And this doesn't mean that wouldn't buy products from the big named MFGs. It just means, that I'm going to tinker first so I can know what's going on. Then when I reach a point that is beyond my level of skill to build myself, I will know where I want to turn to because I will be able to talk intelligently with the mfg of said product and know whether they are blowing smoke up my skirt or not. Hope this makes sense man. I do agree with you man that higher quality control will make a better end product regardless of application. This is true. [/QUOTE]
