For the most part, I agree but there are a few select items or used itrems that you can pick up there if you know what to look out for. Guys I work with use Craigslist

What was your experience like Navy?

I guess saving all the nickles and dimes towards F/I is the only way to go.
It is a CAI setup (sort of) but I would not say it is for performance. It is mainly to quiet the motor down.
My job experience in the Navy is awesome. I get to work on and fly around in a variety of Naval cargo aircraft. Right now I am a C-130T Hercules Loadmaster down here in New Orleans. My Active Duty Enlistment is up and I am transitioning back to the Reserves. I will still fly alot but now have more time to start my racing product business.

This is true. Not much gained on stock, 2~3WHP. This is a supporting mod upgrade that works in conjuction with better flowing exhaust, head work, cam profile upgrades, higher compression, NOS, and FI.
