Best SMIC (best bang for buck)

[gsrteg]

Z1 B.A SMIC's
AshSpecs Massives
GodSpeed SMIC's

to go with this i was either going to buy the z1 or ash 2.5 piping.
I know ash is the best, but i dont want to spend 1500+ on smic..
godspeed smic are huge and roughly 350
2.5 inch piping is 600 roughly from z1 and/or ash.
so what do you think?

With no other changes, the Z1 SMIC (not the BA ones) are the best deal for a BRAND NEW SMIC. If you can get GReddys or Stillens used for less than the cost of NEW Z1s, I'd do that.

If you're changing the IC pipes too, get the Massives. Dunno where you got $1500; Massives AND 2.5" IC pipes are $1350 from SpecialtyZ.
