I can't wait to see it run, I just saw that one video since you put the bottle in You must be safely in the 600 hp club with the nitrous, even with a loose converter. I'm looking forward to the next track rental at LVD, spring can't get here soon enough.

I hear ya. I'm guessing it's over 600 rwhp, it made 480 n/a and didn't lose **** when we retuned it for the nitrous, so add another 150 to that.....

Next year I'll have a bigger set of headers on it which should probably bump another 10 to 20 hp on the jug... but the big thing will be the weight. With about 250 lbs gone, I expect to see a big gain from that

Don't be so mindless when it comes to performance.

I agree that they can be made to be quick. However, they're just ugly cars in general - a 4 door no style economy car with a scoop and a goofy wing.

Sorry for my bias, but I grew up when muscle cars were new and when they ruled the streets.

I'll add my $0.02, but it's pretty much like everyone here. I have an STi, so I've been to a BUNCH of shops here in MA(XX,ESP,KTR,Dentsport mainly every AWD shop.....). So, it's quite simple.....if you have a 4cyl, I'd go to any listed on my list, BUT with an LSX, I'd go to Slowhawk/Dez. I've been to a few other "domestic" orented shops, but they do the best work IMO. I have many friends whit LSX that just choose them because they are so reliable, easy to work with, and are just really good at what they do. On top of it all, they are actually out there running thier cars with you. I honestly only know that them along with dentsport are the only two shops thay you can say were right there racing you in an actual event of any kind!! That speaks alot for them to be racing thier cars against you in the real world.

*Basically I say go to Dez/Slowhawk with a domestic.
