I guess install labor, configuration, troubleshooting, dyno, and retuning time is all free too.

I'd be interested in the tubular subframe discussion as well. I know I was talking to Dan over at Diamond Race Cars recently and they have some in stock right now (front and rear). But if I was in NZ, I would probably just go with Racefab.
How many of you guys are running tubular subframes and was there a noticeable difference in handling or response? Or was it mainly the weight savings that made you switch?

I dont know what guys charge for dyno time up there but say another $1000USD
Still less than half the price of replacing a blown motor... This is my point rather than getting hung up on exact figures.

Tubular front SF is on my to-do list.
Buschur has one listed on their site but I'm sure we've all read about how unreliable they are these days.

Magnus makes subframes. Absolutely no reason to risk a pile of cash with the new BR owner.

Took off all my rear control arms too for new bushings and like half of them had the aluminum arms cracked at the casting line so looks like I get to source some used ones or look for some aftermarket ones now.

Yea, Dave took back over. Changed the company name to "Buschur LLC" or something but sounds like they're back on track now.

For control arms, Hard Race has some very nice adjustable toe arms. Not sure about the others, but it's a start.

The stock 8/9 ECU is just slow. The X logs way ****ing faster. Nothing to do with the open port.
Individual cylinder trims for fuel/timing is 100% not a bandaid. Unless you're referring it to being a bandaid for parts that don't flow to/from each cylinder evenly. But even the, unless you have ITB's. and CNC port a head that has zero core shift, and then have a perfectly tuned exhaust manifold/header, there is always going to be some cylinder imbalance that can be tuned out.
