summit sells thats kit for $1800 so it seems like a pretty good deal, especially if you get $250 back like the seller claims

i would avoid the a trim

Ebay sellers come and go, I'd pay the extra and buy from a place like Summit, Jegs, etc. The thing I like about Summit Racing is the Customer Service. If I have a problem with a part it's a no hassle issue. For example I bought a set of Performer RPM heads for a Big Block Chevy. I didn't like the way the valve cover bolts were drilled. The looked to be about .020 off center. I called up and I had another set at my door in about 36 hours. They sent a call tag for the others and that was that. No arguement, no hassles, no questions. Hands down best customer service anywhere. I buy almost exclusively from Summit. Jegs is good as well.

The Vortech on eBay is a nice entry level SC...and you can go wrong with a Vortech IMO...I'd buy the new SC over the used...

ya if you have the money to buy it new, then buy it new. maybe look at a v-1 s trim? a little more, and gives you a little more potencial down the road
