Always better to have alot of headroom. You have to tune anyway.. might as well get larger injectors and not work them as hard. Make sure the fuel pump is up to snuff too.

It will be a fun car. Torque steer is a bitch though. Will get worse with more power. You may want to consider some "stickier" than stock tires after the tune. Toyo R888's or something similar.

Also, check out this site. The have a resizing service too.. if they have a set on the shelf, you send them yours and they send you a resized set. This is what I had done on my 500... stock resized to 72lb. Was only $250.00

I'm used to FWD so it shouldn't be too big a problem. The stock tires are plenty sticky enough from what I hear. So much so that most people are screaming to get all-seasons when it gets below 40 degrees

Get bigger injectors then need. Don't work as hard and gives you room to grow. If I bought set now I would buy least ID1000's with FI.

Hey Brother... for a house-trailer that size, I gotta say that is the perfect size jack.

Well done sir! You're truly, a fisherman among car thugs.

A buddy of mine died in a car wreck last night, out playing on a cold street in an 8 second car and couldn't be bothered to put his seat belt on. Shitty.

Sucks to hear that. Sorry 'bout your friend.

People do amaze me at times. He probably wears a **** ton of safety equipment at the track but doesn't even put his seat belt on when driving on the street. Some things will never be understood.

Yup, car had kirkeys, harnesses and a cage. Of course none of that helps when you go out the windshield. Poor judgment.

Have you seen the mineral oil setups? Pretty neat

Sucks to hear man, sorry.

Safety should always come first, but its easy to get caught up in the moment.

I mean, I laugh at some of the **** you say, but sometimes your timing is fucked up and completely disrespectful.

Sorry about your friend sw07.

Thanks. It's sad but I can't say it's surprising. As soon I heard he died I knew what happened. He never wore his seat belt on the street.
