    Don't get ssic, not worth the effort. Go with the bigger core, same amount of work and a lot more performance.

    I'd consider it, but don't wanna pay the $$$ for a brand new one. If I saw one used in good condition for the right price, I may consider then

    You don't mention mods? Do you have headers, down pipe, cam or rockers etc..

    Yes I think I've heard of him.

    But honesty weather you buy phenolic, WBS or ZZP stay away from SSIC, It's half a mod at best Better off doing other mods or saving to do an Intercooler right.

    What's your budget? For only a couple hundred more than the ZZP SSIC kit, you can get vastly greater performance.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
