"There must be some reason why Roush commands a much higher market price for the same number of ponies"

For a carburated engine situation it is advertisment. For FI as described above it may very well be experience.

Why does Rolex charge $5800 for a submariner and Omega charges $2300 for a SeaMaster. Masters of perception and advertisement. All the dive magazines recommned the omega over the rolex. But guess what noyone ever said, Oh, I never heard of Rolex before"

Just my 2 cents. When my dist cap button burned up, roush wanted a form filled out, and pictures, blah blah blah, i put a new cap on for $20 buck. Now if I had a rod knock, or low pressure different situation. I guess it is how much warranty do you need and what are your skills. I have to admit I guess I asked enough questions they had an engineer return my call, and he explained alot on advance curves etc, so they do respond.
