It sounds like it is still not 100% known whether or not the spark plugs are included in the troyer kit. If they are that is awesome! I also belive the jdm kit looks better but that is a personal opinion and shouldn't not have too much of an influence on price. When I put the kit in my truck I am not gonna be doing burnouts or going down the drag strip with my hood open. The only time I plan on opening my hood is when I go to get my truck serviced, which the kit will then be replaced with the stock setup since it will void the warranty. I hope JDM can consider another price drop to make it a little cheaper, espically if the troyer kit contains the spark plugs. I wouldn't mind paying around one to two hundred more dollars for their kit since it looks better and their reputation supercedes them but $400 is still a little much.

I understand where your coming from with the pricing, it isnt a cheap kit. But what you have to understand is we have a ton of cost and overhead into the kit. The price drop i was able to get is cutting down our profit margin to almost nothing. I will see if there is anyway i can get plugs included in the kit. Im not a fan of brisk plugs at all and will not sell them with our kit. I will only use autolite HTO's gapped at .030". I know they work great simply becasue there has only been 2 sets in our truck with over 60 K miles on them! the first set remained ungapped for about 20000 miles. Then we changed to a set gapped at .030" for nearly 40K miles now and have never had a single issue. That is with 13 psi boost, racing, race fuel, towing, and every day driving.

Please dont compare our kits on price the troyer kit does have a cheaper air intake setup making the price easier to work with. Ours is much more expensive and will handle over 500 RWHP!
