I've seen plenty of JWT love, but that and Southbend are about it

I've seen a lot of love for ZSpeed's (and he's a forum sponsor ) and a decent amount of love for JWT and Southbend

Contact Joe@ZSpeed, he's a good guy
I'd say tell him DEpointfive0 sent you, but I'm note sure he'll know who it is, lol

I wish I could answer on the difference. I'm sure a knowledgeable forum member will chime in shortly.
