This is interesting. Bear with my wind......

Last year a member e-mailed me offline about which system to go with. Charlie Griffith's stuff was included in the list along with the usual suspects for premium upgrades.

OK, so he goes with the cheaper option AND has it installed by a class A shop that folks rave about here.

Results were pathetic. Why? I think the install shop was in a rush. Due diligence was not performed. The poor guy wished he had 55 degree temps at the vents, it was that poor.

When you do stuff yourself, you are nervous, overly fussy, feeling awkward and you over work it. Triple check, etc.

It makes a big difference when YOU are totally anal about an install.

DO IT YOURSELF. IF you can even sort of handle a wrench and are patient, DO IT YOURSELF.
