Yo, get in touch with Johan and see what his plan is....I think he has that dude you did LTs for this weekend coming up tomorrow night.

Our marketing guy wants to bring the HD camera over to video your **** on the dyno, so....I really need to know exactly when it will be.

That's when you know you have graduated into some serious ****!!! When your tune shop breaks out the biological warfare suits, geiger counter, etc. you know it's no joke! You gotta put a mock-up Flux Capacitor in that thing just for fun.

You need to call DAN @ 309-691-8789 and tell him you need some high temp SLEEVES to cover your entire wire. They make special sleeves for wiring harness/hoses...etc. Tell him jamie with the twin turbo white vette sent you. Maybe they'll remember.

You can also use a heavy rubber hose/ cut it down the middle, and that may help with the wires that come in contact. I forget, do you have header wrap? I do. And my wires that come close, I have wrapped in nylon hose, or wrapped in thermal tape.

Cool deal man. hope it's all squared away for you. I fully understand the whole spark plug wire issue....can be frustrating when they fail,...especially on our setup.

Nice graph btw

Yeah, it's not too bad. My bullets were louder it seems then my current setup but, then again,..I haven't really been full throttle yet. Even my girlfriend says the car is way quieter then it was before...compairing the sound from her house.

I'm running two three inch unrestricted pipes that exit in front of the trans,...angling out towards the sides. We'll see.

The 'Silver Bullet' has some crappy fuel in the tank and the due to a cracked line, the boost was only about 4psi. You were lucky to catch me on a bad day,,,
