i went with meth due to higher compression ratio and to lower my intake temp. i actually got to drive the car today and even without the final tune it still ran smooth. the kooks exhaust have a really nice deep tone to them. we also put a tick adj slave cylinder and that made a world of difference shifting. ill be finishing up the meth tonight and will be tuning the car thursday so hopefully ill have some final numbers soon.
