Icon6 What's your BEST/Worst mod???

Well not sure if anyone will have the same post on this topic but out of ALL the mods you ever done to your motor, what would you say is the #1 mod your really happy with and a mod that you will never ever do again or ever buy again.

Could be your best part for the buck or just a mod that your not happy with

Lets hear them guys........

Buying a REAL EMS is the best thing that I have ever done and I did that over 10 years ago.

Worst ITB's for my NA setup what a waste of money that was.

Best, full race proam w a s366, manley internals, tial controls, ectune pro

Worst, anything made by skunk2 on my car. Its all JUNK. pro full coilovers were shot within 5k miles, retainers failed, lca bushings were destroyed in 3k miles. Everything about the camber kit sucked.

I had a customer that was buying some other stuff from a skunk2 sales rep, the sales rep tried to sell him a throttle body that he said gave his personal car 75hp and that he would cut him a better deal on everything he was buying if he came on HT and CC's forums and praised their products. He even tried to follow up with him to make sure he did this.

What a joke.

Best - Going InlinePro for anything and everything

Worst - Believing someone's input that you "think" would know best, without doing my own research
