As fas as the BMWP BBK - it certainly must be an improvement over stock. And the cracked pistons are only an issue with folks running certain pads, IIRC. Not only that, but you can easily upgrade the ceramic pistons to steel if desired ( Turner sells a kit). Not nearly as good as a real BBK, but last time I checked, they were half the price ($1500 vs. $3000). About a year ago, they were selling for $1000 - wish I had jumped on them then.
Still $1900 for the BMW PBK.

And once again, I'm not saying that it isn't better, merely that the dollar to improvement ratio isn't nearly as good as the other two options. Go to two less track events and you just made up the difference.

Man we are getting side tracked, I like this thread.
