Great, it will be good to hear how everything turns out. By the way how long have you been waiting?

if your concerned with FI and wait-time is an issue, i would recommend to move to nitrous. You will wait regardless. For the long-time sources like TTI, you would have less down time than from a recent vendor.

I like OFI because i needed to keep my A/C and have enough turbo to keep my 410ci happy. Patience isn't really my thing for stuff that i already paid for, however, its something that had to learn. I'm not the only one ordering and it the materials, parts needed to be sourced by an outside vendor usually tardy any build.

with that, i would call OFI and talk to joel, or pm him, he needs time to get my stuff packed and shipped!!!! Also, there are othver vendors so search around and make an educated/gut decision.

laterZ!

I've been down since September... Was back up in December for a dyno pull, then was back down!!!

My issues however are engine-related... I did have to wait a long time for my old MP T-70 turbo... It was a bitch. I hope to be back up soon... Gonna push it hard on 93+Methanol.
