Quality? Good up to 6500 rpm? If you've got one, tell me what you think.
Thanks,
Todd

Dragon fire, I might steer clear of that one.

Might be close to the same thing with a different color cap but summit has a good return policy.

Looks like the other TDHEI in the under $350 class ... looks like the dozens I sold (NO more; I got out as market glutted) ... I never got a single complaint on those I sold ... several to CAC & CF members. This TDHEI probably a good value.

That said ... I doubt if entire $120 TDHEI distributor made in North America (as claimed in ad) ... maybe Panama, Costa Rica etc ... but I doubt it. IMHO more likely all/primarily Asian.

I also doubt "who" they (AI) claim they are ... AI touts brick & mortar warehouse ... but you just try & find a street address ... yep they've a minimal website (copyrighted 2007) ... but NO published street address.

IMHO ... Give it another year or 2 & TDHEI probably $75 or less.
