Sure - no problem with your comments re: the different types, but the Edelbrock unit makes similar top end numbers without all the add ons - so what I'm saying is that bang for buck the HKS unit doesn't seem worth it (My opinion of course)... and you still get the torque benefits of the roots SC.
I'd like to see what the other kits do with matched header-back exhausts and all the bits HKS had on their car when providing the HP numbers etc for their tune.
Ultimately I don't really care how the SC works, just that it works reliably, safely and can put a grin on my face for less money than it's competitors
