Performance Induction Systems (new sponsor at top of page)

Anybody have one of those yet? It's in an ad up there. It looks like the end of the snorkel sticks out the wheel well or something.

I said my thoughts and I'm totally honest. I don't think it is worth even $60. How the heck did they get the number $108 plus shipping. Maybe if it was $108 includes shipping but it doesn't. If you think they're overpriced then say so, don't let the sponsor leave because they aren't getting any buisness. It's our job to tell them that they're overpriced considering you could get the material for under $40 and do it yourself or get a mechanic to do a custom install for $30 on the side. That's >$38 saved. I can't figure it out but maybe you guys can tell me why the high price.

Well then, I just won't be getting that thing. I thought it said $108 including S/H. Oh well, still too much. I think I will get the dryer hose. Where does the end come out on yours? The wheelwell?

I told him it was WAY over priced when I gave him the information on cost to advertise here and how to get a hold of Dirk. Guess he didnt listen.

Sorry man, not to knock you as a new sponsor if you read this, but all the other sponsors have GREAT prices, and usually do a group purchase when they bring in a new product. ALSO, they have products that you cant make very easily on your own.

Greed Kills Business, I suggest dropping your price.

(that is, if you read this, if you dont, ill email you my thoughts again. Just trying to help)

Hey everyone this is Jason West with Performance Induction Systems. I am a old advertiser of Chevy High Performance magazine, high tech Performance, Super Chevy 97-98. I sold over 200 of these kits at $125.00 during that time period without a complaint. (WEST FABRICATIONS) my old name. I see alot of people think my kit is over priced so I am willing to drop it to $75.00 Thanks for your input!

That's good news, thanks Jason for listening. Now the whole system looks a lot better. If I didn't have an open element I might have considered getting the kit at that price.

That seems like a more reasonable price to me too. $108 should come with lubricant. For $75 that's about right not to have to worry about do I have enough clamps and hose.
