Differences between Str8six and Powers 4.3?

[chris watton]

I emailed Jason at Str8six, initially about retrofitting aircon to my Tam (which they no longer do due to scarcity of parts)

I asked how much the Powers Performance 4.3 upgrade would be if Jason undertook the work, and it is £9k + VAT, so almost £11k compared to Dom's £9k including the VAT, injectors and heavy duty starter motor.

I emailed back, asking what else is done over and above Power's 4.3 to warrant an extra £2k, and it seems the only difference is that Str8six ceramic coat the manifolds.

Can anyone confirm that this is the only difference - I don't mind paying extra if I know it is worth it?

Hi Billy

I did ask. I know exactly what Dom's includes, that's why I asked Str8six, as I couldn't find anything on their website, and I got a response:

They include injectors, uprated starter motor and ceramic coat the manifolds.

This is why I am asking on here, the ceramic coated manifolds shouldn't equate to £2k extra, should it?

I understood when I was looking at them was the Jason did work on the oil pathways and a few other bits and bobs.

I thought so too, which is why I asked about the price differential. I would have thought that if work on oil pathways and a few other bits and bobs were carried out, over and above what Dom does, it would have been mentioned?

So, would I be correct in assuming that some think the extra ££ is down to extra care and attention afforded to the rebuild?

With that in mind, are there any disappointed customers who used the less expensive 4.3? AFAICT, everyone that's had the upgrade, whether Jason or Dom, have been very happy with the work.

you are hardly chancing it with either.

Of that I have no doubt.
