More power for you, slightly higher cost to produce.

So for an ALTA product directly comparable to the GSR would be about $599.99-$529.99.
As others have mentioned, would you mind sharing your testing data? Also, would you be receptive to selling an IC without the diverter/sprayer/etc?

Hello again,

I agree with some sort of independent testing as long as it is performed in a fashion agreed to by both sides. Depending on the collective view on independent, Randy at WEBB Motorsports has tons of testing data on both versions of our TMIC, the GSR, his water to air and several others. He has had recent computer/website issues and has been unable to post data to the board. I know he is happy to do so very quickly. Those that know Randy know that he is very good about giving a true and honest opinion on items he tests. Combined with our own testing the results are consistant and dramatic. Ask him for this data as if I post it many will find it "biased" and "exagerated". It is unfortunate that we can't trust mfr. data. But many here have seen the abuses by less than honest companies.

We have looked seriously at selling TMIC's without the sprayer. Please e-mail me directly if you are interested. (However, once the data has been posted by Randy I doubt many will order the part without it!)

I want to stress we are NOT running and hiding our test data.

Thanks again to NAM for the opportunity to post here!
