Again, why bother with Cometic?

I'd love to know why you wouldn't trust a company who still creates F1 level parts, still creates the best stuff for the most current 'tuner' cars, and still supports it's back catalog of stuff?

Cometic on an F1 car? Show me where.

I hate to sound like a nutswinger, but Eric Hsu and his blogs are notorious for being honest, and fair. He's got all the time in the world to test his reasoning, we don't.

I 150% agree with you. Eric (and I don't know him peronally) has always been a fair and honest judge with products, and has the first hand experience to explain otherwise...when many (aka: 98% of the net) do not.

Stock HG are more than fine for 350-400 whp on a good tune. Issue is, most people have a 85% tune, and a MHG lasts long enough to not make the tune shittyness an issue until a few years down the road.

For 90% of the forum, stock HG on a good tune is plenty fine. THe rest of us already know better.
