Default Ugh...the mod bug is biting...

...and I'm resisting the urge to scratch.

Can someone help me breakdown whether or not the cost of putting together a KO4 kit to run the "HAMMER" w/ supporting hardware worth the time and effort considering I have an APR chip already?

Had eventually planned on going S3, but that is becoming more and more like a pipe dream as time progresses...

I think he means a plain K04 setup, something without sprinkles and syrup

Default Out of my price range...

...well all kits are out of my price range.

The KO4 kit just happens to be less out of my price range.

Default I don't wanna have to pay twice for the software...

...not to mention extra components not utilized using the hammer file.

Looking for bang for the buck here.

Really, the biggest thing holding me back, is the chip and the loss on getting the new chip/software. Not to mention my being down while getting the new chip/software.
