Default What Are The Best Hot Parts For Single

I am currently running a phamspeed budget kit and would like to change it, if I can find a good set of hot parts. I purchased OFI, but i have not received them and I am thinking of asking for my money back. What would be the best to get. I want to keep factory options as well, and no more under k-member stuff. Help me out or if you have cheap ones pm. Help me out, not exactly money.

as always thank you.

OFI or a custom built setup is where its at for you. I would say just wait for you OFI setup and make sure you have everything you need lined up for when you get it.

Your kit is being finished up. You ordered your kit on June 19th so I am working on getting the downpipe finished up for you this week and shipping it out. Thanks for you time and order.

I have used Joels Hot parts on a build. It is very nice quality work. Just wait it out. It is worth it in the end.

I am backed up at the shop too. I have plans on releasing a Tube header setup. I dont have a time frame for it though.

I dont get how its "worth the wait"? Iv been over 6 months waiting. 6 months of your car being down for a kit is not worth it. Other people make quality stuff and local shops can often produce very quality stuff aswell.

I would NOT recommend OFI. Who knows how long you will wait.

Speaking all from first hand experience here.

i guess i could see and understand 2 maybe 3 mo's tops. Much more then that i would definatly be going nuts. IF you can get your money back maybe look into some local shops to you, or you could always try to build your own.
