Brent,
Thank you for the all the intel, I appreciate it.
However I must disagree with your blanket endorsement of Quicktime.
I was involved in a discussion on 460ford.com about the failure of a non SFI Quicktime housing. (

Its to bad the video of the failure is gone, because its quite dramatic. That the housing failed to contain the explosion is a problem, but in its defense, it is not an SFI certed housing.
My issue is that the company openly misleads the consumer into believing that this housing (and others) has passed the SFI test regimen, when it has not, and more importantly can not.
SFI requires the lower containment bolts. If they aren’t there, no cert.
When I wrote to Ross McCombs of Pres/Ceo of QT, all of his responses troubled me, never once would he just say, “Yea it sucks, without those lower containment bolts, you could have a major failure, at substantially less energy than the SFI tests at”, just marketing hype.
Im sure the SFI certed Quicktime housings work as designed, but its unfair to the consumer to say they (the non certed housing) offer similar protection.
