David, First off I want to say tanks for your business, But let me ask you where is Houston's statement on performance on the Nology they sell. If it doesn't cost to much more than stock and we being vendors can offer it up then why not. Houston and Special T are working on the factory specifications then yes I do believe them and I don't have to spend a lot of money trying to disprove it. As earlier stated I personally install most all products on my cars and try them out or I have offered them up to customers to test them out. I have found that Bosch, MSD, K & N and all these folks put a lot of money into testing and checking performance gains where it may be only one HP or more but with our cars I'll take what I can get. If it's in the budget or I'm going to take off the old then normally I will most always install an improved part or parts, it just makes since. That's why I do what I do. I try to improve our parts if I can and look for better parts or way's to make them and offer them up. Good discussion.

This kind of discussion can go back-and-forth forever. The bottom line is use whatever you like. I prefer to know what I am putting on a car if it claims to improve performance so some kind of testing should be offered to substantiate the claims. To offer that other customers are happy is too subjective. Independant testing is the preferred method. On the positive side if the "performance" parts are less expensive than the "stock" parts then ANY improvement is just a plus. New parts (performance or otherwise) will ALWAYS be better than old, worn out parts. It is great that we Delorean owners even have a choice and a lot of that is due to John. I guess I just don't agree with his marketing.
