How many group buys have there been on products that add little or no performance increase(I.e. About every intake made so far)?

If gains are even half of what Crawford mentionned and are kept even after adjustement on an un-tuned car, this is worth it.

Too many group buys popping up now. Want to cancel my order since I don't think they have shipped yet anyway... Would rather not pay full pop...

"0 to 40 = 10% off
40 to 80 = 15% off 80 to 100 = 20% off" So if we can organise 1250 buyers they are 100% off?

Example: 5Zigen exhaust systems were made 100% in Japan. The MSRP for a catback system 15 years ago was around $400-750+, depending on the version of exhaust. Landed cost? Less than 50% of MSRP. Hell, look at Intel Corporation. Their gross margin margin is in the neighborhood of 50-60% of total revenue. If you price a product right and make/market it properly, you can sell it for almost any price you want. -alex |

haha... not sure if I can post any concrete results even after testing, the parts didn't arrive today.
Should be able to test within next day or two... it should be noted that a reputable publication (can't say who yet) is testing this, so it won't be any BS. Whatever findings will just be added into the pool of knowledge. -alex |
