Bump, would like some more input..... I can do the fuel system now with adding a boost-a-pump, FPR, lines and rails and possibly a meth kit AND valvetrain if its needed or i could hold off..... but is that worth it and will i just want to up it anyway? Any thoughts on the power this set up will make on 5 psi and 8 psi and if it may be too much for the stock motor? Thanks

What about using 5 psi springs and a boost controller to go higher than 5 if your fuel looks okay?

BTW, i plan on keeping shift points in the same spot as stock so i don't think valvesprings SHOULD be a problem but i'll probably pick some up to be safe. Any other input?

Even stock shift point/rpm, you'll need valve springs.

Remember , its not just high rpm you need springs for..sometimes its the spped in which you get to whatever rpm you going too. Add springs in my opinion.

Ok, well i'll pick up some springs then. Would some comp 918s be enough or will i need the all out dual golds? As for power levels... what do you guys think i should shoot for, 5 or just skip that and stick with the 8 that are already in my WGs?

Heres what i'm thinking right now, keep the 8# springs, add a MSD BAP to my set up, a snow meth kit, some decent valvesprings, probably add some Comp 918's. From what i'm hearing adding a meth kit will make it much easier on my motor, and it will help out the fuel system so that kind of knocks out my 2 worries. Sound like a good plan?

So what do you guys think? Run the 8 and get a meth injection kit or back down to 5.....

On another note... think the meth kit would help me out tremendously for pump gas, stock motor, street car?

Kind of, i'm thinking of picking up the KB BAP to help my fuel system out at the 8# level and when i decide to bump it up from there is when i'll do a second pump...

ANy other thoughts/input?

should be fine, I'm probably going to order a BAP to be extra safe as well.

So what are your guys thoughts on me picking up a SNow Stage 2 meth kit for my set-up.... 8 # twin 60's pump gas street car? Give me your input on it! Thanks!

It isnt, it will help it i have heard however. I think my racetronix, 65# injectors and a BAP should give me sufficient fuel... just want to know on your guys opinions on whetehr Meth could be quite beneficial or not to my set up? Looking at it as a safety feature basically? Or would it be a waste of cash?

A little off topic, but does the Turbo Zone twin kit route the down pipe under the k-member close to the road, or above the k member tucked up nicely to save it from speed bumps etc...

What are power goals Superman? Are there any dyno charts out there for a TZ kit?

their single kit will go above the k-member and my twin will go threw the k-member. I don't think there are any dyno charts out there yet. I think i'm the first twin kit and will/should/hope to have my 8# dyno numbers around Jan-Feb. Power goals are 500 rwhp through the a4 on stock motor.... we'll see
