Hallmans can be had for around $70-90 shipped depending on model. I'd consider it cheaping out in that sense. Although spending a few bucks to raise boost a few psi might seem expensive, you'll have more solid boost, faster spool, and warranty.

And if you think about what you are saying, some people spend several hundred dollars for a few hp (exhausts, headers, etc.) and if you think of it in $/hp (assuming $70 for a hallman, and 12hp/psi for the average healthy motor, and 3psi additional boost):

12hp*3=36hp, $70/36hp=~$1.95/hp. A hallman is well worth the cost, just to have solid boost that will hold all day every day. If its good enough to be on 7/8sec cars, its good enough for me!
