The gains are worth it. Even if you notice it coming apart at some distant future, its easy to re-do. I prep the surface pretty good before I apply it, haven't had any issues so far.

"I do not like epoxy because if it ever comes loose it has only one place to go. I have never heard of a failure but it can happen."


- GOOD POINT....

Have any examples for us? I haven't heard of it happening....having the epoxy fall out in one chunk like that is highly unlikely. You'd have to have some serious issues to arise for that to occur if the person who did the epoxy prepped it correctly.

I think I remember bo saying that he had never heard of it happen but its better safe than sorry or something like that. It kinda worries me to. At least with me doing the epoxy, thats why i havent done it yet.

on the slp TB what your paying for is 10 bucks for the CNC work and 150 bucks for the engraved slp logo
That has to be the best polish job I have seen!!! Or Maybe thats just a really good pic. However it looks really good.

Jantzer if you're going to buy from a sponser. Otherwise, Shaner is awesome too. Just might have a wait time w/Jantzer.

they are pretty even for average gains with either Jantzer or Shaner. 5-10rwhp is a decent gain. some see more, some see less. all depends on your current mods

Hp is figured off of torque so yes on gains in that department too. And yes on the polish on cammin beassts TB jobs, I have seen one first hand and he lays the bling down on the throat area. I have looked at all of the popular TBs and base mine on all of the best attributes of all and add some personal work to make it my own.
