I've heard good things about FPS and i've talked to them on the phone a few times. Of course CHP is pretty damn good, heard nothing but good things about them, but they are more on the expensive side... call around and do some homework.

a lot of ppl don't like DSS cause essentially its just a stock block and its seems like they try to pass it off as something better
