Which vendir wants to sell me some Katech Valve covers and coil relocation?
Seems as though everyone has them listed for the same exact price as you can get them from Katech....does anyone sell them any cheaper? I want the raw aluminum slotted and wet sump plus the coil relocation and plugs wires.

Doubt youll find them any cheaper than Katech. I couldnt even buy the wires direct through MSD and they manufacture them. Katech has the hold on them.

Yea there is nothing special about the wires I can have them made. It seems as though that one price is it for everyone. May look at other options then.

Katech jobber/dealer rules state Katech's MSRP=MAP, so everybody should be selling it for the same price. This prevents the race to the bottom and promotes fairness.

This reasoning is one reason we get cheap Chinese knock offs. Some are good, some not so. Let the market decide what the price should be. This is not a government controlled economy, at least not yet.

The market is setting the price.
It's just not setting the price you were hoping for.

One way to help insure maintenance of quality is for to be one price that everyone pays.
If you have to keep lowering the price dollar by dollar so that you can advertise a lower price ..... the cost must be reduced .... and while those efforts may lead to advancements it too often results in cheaper components and a reduction in overall quality and reliability.
If you can't afford to pay the going rate... save a little longer.
