Default took the phamspeed plunge :)

Talked to John today and got the ball rolling on the t88 budget kit, So far John has exceeded my expectations as far as customer service goes even while they are SWAMPED! Hes thinking a week or so before the kit is done so we'll see how it goes from there. Just figured I'd share my excitement

Awesome! Did you get the IC as well? Or are you going to use meth?

Wow a t88 on the budget kit. Why not get the exhaust manifold's for more flow?

I would think that turbo would rock for that setup. There will almost be like no lag.

Yeah that's what I am thinking. Plus a t88 is a big **** for street car. How much are the shorty headers compared to the Phamspeed ones?
