my local NAPA store has been on point price wise with RA on some of the last big $$ purchases I've made. Within a $1 or 2 and in 1 case cheaper. It's been a while since I did this and I thought it would be good to update it. The only direct comparison I couldn't make was the timing set. Everything else has the identical part number.

6pak, any idea on the shipping costs from RA on your list comparison ? shouldn't that also be added in as well ? Excellent point. I'd estimate about $100 for shipping these items. The reason that I didn't address shipping initially is that my local NAPA store wouldn't have any of this on the shelf. Their stocking warehouse probably wouldn't have anything other than the gaskets on the shelf. So my NAPA store would charge me freight from a district warehouse like Minneapolis or Denver. Short answer, it's a horse apiece. Edit: This was an interesting question so I actually filled out a RA order to see what shipping was to me for the parts list I used for the comparison. $75.96. Less than what I thought.
