The reason i ask is cus i want to switch to a 28" tire on the street for traction but it would drop me to the equivalent of a 2.73 rear gear. Any idea on how much tq the car makes?
It wasn't too bad, just looking to see if it will help spool with the gear swap. Even though I think with these new upgrades it should help a lot.

Went full retard on a lot of things. Bought things I really didn't have to and was just unhappy for a really long time. Just wanted something I could drive again. Original intentions were to just get back in a heads/cam car but couldn't pass up the deal for this one.

Good thing that came out of it was I learned to be patient

Ironically that's the only one I've never had issues with.

China They are TiAL replicas. They're different from the other 50mm BOVs, they look exactly like TiALs now, same machining.

Didn't have much time the past few days, but did get a few things done... redid the charge pipe from the intercooler to TB because I messed up the BOV flanges last time and they came out crooked. I just made them straight this time. Also got a coolant overflow tank in and a vacuum block hooked up.

Need to finish;

coil relocation
vacuum lines
install new fuel pressure gauge (one that came with the car doesn't work)
install fuel system

Is that the LS1 (76mm) pro-flo? I have the LS2 (90mm) version and the throttle body mounting flange is grooved for an o-ring seal.
