At the end of the day, it won't make any difference to anyone who's not racing for a living. It may gain you a few tenths around the track against the competition when you're already a top-level driver. For those of us who aren't, we'll never know the difference. Buy what looks coolest to you.

Good advice. I wasn't sure if there were any kits known to be superior enough to stand out or so poorly designed putting them on increases oil temp by 40 degrees!

Sounds like the answer is no to both.
