Dude, are you smoking crack?  $4000 in CANDAIAN maybe.  I think they are
more like $2000 US, and yes, the gains aren't seriously impressive in the
HP department, but the torque sees quite a boost.  And concidering that
the crossflow puts out more torque than HP in stock form anyway....would
be a nice upgrade.

I think the biggest reason they tuned it so modestly is because it meets
CARB requirements, also, for longevity of the engine.  If I had the spare
cash I would do it....nothing like a drop in solution that nets you a 50%
increase in power with 3-4 hours of work....I don't know about you, but my
time is extreamly valuable.  Imagine the hours spent trying to source,
assemble and properly tune an turbo solution......suddenly that $2000
price starts to make sense.

I'd like you to come up with a quality, complete, emissions legal
alternative.....bet you won't find one for the crossflow.  Especially in
the emissions department.

Again, a differing opinion.
