I'm not sure how to even approach this one, so I'll just leave it here.

"gains of up to 20hp" that package is backed with some serious numbers yo....

No typo, here's a pump for $3500, LOL. I like Vivid and have browsed their site several times but this is just consumer rape.

The problem isn't vivid racing, it's renntech and their stupid prices.

That pump is listed for $1395 on Renntech's site, so no it isn't just Renntech that is smoking rocks, it is Vivid being complete idiots too thinking someone is going to buy that thing for over double the already straight rape price directly from Renntech.

Oh wow...I didn't actually see the pump. Funny thing is that vivid doesn't sell that pump on their site...only on ebay from what I can see. Vivids prices have never been overly crazy though, they are just as insane as renntechs prices on their website.

yeah but this one gets you more HP and at almost 15K is the more economical choice vs just the tune
