You and I are in the same boat... I recently took off the AC and Components, and I did my own Alt Relocate.... Next up will be to try and stand up/move forward the radiator...I MAY try to use the stocker... contrary to what most people say..it can be done, and has been done successfully... just depends how big a turbo is going up front...

oh yeah 317 heads, but that dosnt really drop it like alot, it just drops it down to like 9.8:1
you would be amazed at how much these engines can handle, it's in the tune, and how big a pair you got for pushing it that far. as for me i'm retarded. i dont care if it blows up thats why i'm pushing it that far. i maxed out the 2bar sensor so that's why i wont go higher though.... i wont go past what i cant see on my scanner, now that would just be stupid.
