You are going to have some fun with that. When you can try and save up for an electronic boost controller, it will bring the boost in faster and harder. I was getting bored with my rear mount, but after the controller I noticed a difference. I daily drove it all last summer and I had lots of fun.

I was planning on going with a smaller intercooler to keep the foggers. But after seeing the shot of the front of your car, I've decided screw it. That thing looks mean!

hey your build looks real good man. i just dropped the last of my parts for my build today and hopefully it'll be dyno'd next week. although i think i over shot my goal of subtle street car and went straight to opening the gates of hell. my shop started her up for me today and i almost wet myself.

awesome... did you get any valve float?
you definately dont want to have it at 13 psi without building the engine to handle forced induction...
