That's not a healty attititude and is almost "if you can't follow my rules I don't wanna play" way of looking at things.

PT just life life is a spectrum of styles from the no-nonsense all function car to the more showy car that thinks about form first. Just build a car you like and don't worry so much about what Mr. Smith is building

Personally I like to use the simple OEM stuff although the kits I've seen look pretty damn sweet.

this is a little of topic but i just bought a March setup thinking i could save 60% and still get the look, well i got the look but thats only till i start adding the shims to get it to track.. pulleys are off by over 1/2 inch and the fit is just not what youd expect from an engineered system, so if the tru track actually tracks true, thats what im buying next time

These cars are getting alot defined,and elegant.and not looking like half thought out wanna be race car.

I like the polished stuff on these PT cars,and the fit and finish these people are putting into them.

I coulda tested them for you today. Dyno'd 2) LS7's.
I think that Ac compressor location is going to be a problem though as stated above, may need to hack crossmember for clearance.

I agree with Steve R., build it your way. Everyone who is able to buy the nice aftermarket stuff that may not be pure-function/street-fighter should do just that...but I must say, when you use OEM style stuff and make it look nice, you get reliability, ease of obtaining replacements, and most importantly, you get the most "why didn't I think of that" statements from the onlookers.
