I also happened to pick mine up on a sale, about 4yrs ago, so price wasn't a concern then.


What do you mean gummi bear guts?


Gummy bears = soft. What I was getting at, is that some people say the Supertech valves are weaker or less durable than OEM. I've noticed no difference, personally. I've been over a year without my car, though, thanks to the military. :/

I find that hard to believe. Supertech wouldn't sell a product inferior to OEM and market them for performance. Correct me if I am wrong, super techs valves are inconel? Right? Same material a lot of the turbo exhaust turbines are made of. Its super light and very durable. All things considered, supertech has a place in this equation, and I think it rests higher up in the food chain when it comes to high performance motors. I wouldn't run them in my daily, but if I've spent 5 or 6k on my motor build, I'm gonna go with supertech.
