There is absolutely no way you're going to receive a definitive answer on which IC/kit is best. I'm not being deliberately difficult or coy, that's just the way it is. Each kit has their army of fans, and depending on who you talk to, every second person has 'evidence' that this one's better, or that one's better. All you can do as an individual, is contact each vendor, and ask them a bunch of Qs. Then keep looking in their forum sections for testimonials, install stories, "you guys f*kin rock!" posts etc etc. As for the product offered by the forum sponsors, as far as I can tell, there aren't any sh*t ones so you can't really go wrong. So really this post is no help at all, except to say that you may as well go with the kit that gives you the biggest hardon. Me, well I think Plazmamans big IC is sex, Rapids intake the same, and PW's plenum CNC at its finest. But, what the f*ck do I know anyway.
