Has this been measured? Any idea on the price of kits? When can I place an order for big 3 upgrade?

man...I hate to be that hater...because I like the idea...and think I am in also, but if you could REALLY get 2 MPG...they would be it in in the factory. If they could advertise 33 MPG instead of 31, that might get 100 more people to buy an Altima vs. Accord...those 100 more people make the company $2.5 Mil more (say 10% profit) meaning $250k which is enough money for the wires in 2,500 cars where the people don't care about MPG (at $100 a pop)...

I know those would have looked into that...

But, I can see the responsiveness.

Adidas2go got 2mpg over the highway EPA MPG right after installing these

And as much as I'd used to believe your point of view, it's been proven time and time again that auto manufacturers don't always have the optimal design. OR in some cases, they may have, but a compromise was used instead for Cost, Fuel Economy, Power numbers, Sound Volume...etc.

The aftermarket wouldn't exist if auto manufacturers made every car optimal from the get-go.

BTW,

There are two orders that I've had for WAY TOO LONG Sorry guys.

One of them is Toomas and the other is TJ.

I'm going to try to bust out all 6 or so kits today and have them in the mail tomorrow.

So is the big 3 for sale? I'd like the regular kit as well. Thinkwith the underdrive pulley from Stillen sends less power toaccesories this would help compensate alittle for my soundsystem?

Yes. It's for sale. I'll check my inventory and let you know what I have available.

As for your sound system issue... If your sound system was having issues with the stock pulleys, then yes, they Big 3 might help as you may have had a current limitation somewhere. If your system was fine before the underdrive pulley and now is having issues, then the Big 3 might help, but you'll also need another battery or possibly CAPS.

Thanks bro. The wifey wanted to come to a couple of the past meets, but her schedule didn't allow. Otherwise you'd all have seen here "baby bump".

I'm getting on here a little more, so I'll post up a thread with pictures when I get some time.
