I have seen a lot of things that, to me, are worth much more than whatever dollar difference there is and that is even before we talk about the HP figures. Think about the fact that there is a water cooled intercooler inside the custom designed intake manifold. I'm not sure exactly where the comment about the "other" kit having more engineering going into it than the stillen one came from the other night....but I honestly fail to see how that is possible. I'm sure they will keep it competitive anyway.
I think when people are spending this much of their hard earned money they naturally tend to weigh many more aspects of the buying decision than they would for something cheaper. Price is never the #1 reason.
I'm going to agree with Travis and say this race is over.

Until these kits end up on customer cars and are subjected to various climate differences, we won't know who made the right choice on intercooler design. "More" engineering doesn't mean better engineering. In fact, keep-it-simple-stupid can be a selling point in itself.
There is no victor here. Both kits, when tested by themselves, performed well. I'm going to hold back from the temptation to save a few hundred on the presales and wait to see real customer results before making up my mind.
Anyone calling a victor at this point on either side is an obvious
