Zzp vs ottp nbs

So I've got a little extra funds and since the engine is out of the car... why not do NBS upgrade. I'd like to know everyone's opinion on them and will probably purchase them tomorrow. Who would suggest which and why? Thanks for the input

ZZP, half the weight of the OTTP NBS and a company worth supporting.

Vibes are not even worth mentioning frankly, and the engine revs with so much more freedom.

You gotta drop the subframe to get them in, no other way. Anyone pulling their engine should spend the $270 and install them, regardless of turbo, SC or NA.
