Just perception that is lost in translation. It's difficult to convey tongue and cheek or positive assertion in a written context.
I'm pessimistically optimistic about it that's all. I'm trying to be objective and on a personal level annoyed(that's sarcastic) that every new post from DDM makes me less willing to DIY and just get their system. If it was CARB approved then it would be game over.

My Ron Popeil comment was not at all intended as a jab at DDM, but in fact a jab at others.
I think that the DDM kit is very "Set it and forget it!" however other systems on the market are looking more and more every day like a "Tweak at it every week at it!" deal.

Not everyone wants to increase the hassle in proportion to performance. Personally I want a 50% increase in all performance and 0% increase in hassle. Having to run tuning software (or Dashhawk) 24/7 because of bad fuel, weather changes or to turn up the boost is a hassle. Having to re-torque hardware every week to prevent stuff from coming loose is a hassle. Having to listen for knock, pay attention to exactly where I get my fuel, and running the car for 10 minutes to cool the oil, ect is a hassle.

There are a lot of people that want no hassle once something is installed. There are a lot of tuner shops that want no hassle once something is installed.
