[QUOTE=pdanrichey]I have another couple PSI to go and once I wrap the exhaust, lag will not be an issue.QUOTE]
Sounds like a decent set up if that's what you like. Your still going to have lag no matter what, that's why this type set up is not popular, it doesn't allow the turbo to be efficient.

Ground clearance issue is due to the cheap kit. Oh well ( You live and learn)
I'am going to get another set done in a month or so, So will your employment be available to do this? Or should I just go some where else?

Im too expensive to employ on those duals.

3rd, I'm happy with my setup and really like how the car feels...isn't that the important thing?
4th, I like A/C in the summer time down here, don't you guys?...go STS! Yes, there are other kits that allow for A/C, but I'm guessing it's not as easy to get around as what I did
.
5th, I have another couple PSI to go and once I wrap the exhaust, lag will not be an issue. It's not that bad now...I can get over it b/c once the boost kicks in, it kicks in hard and the pull is amazing!
6th, I'm as fast as my brother's 03 Cobra @ 14psi and he's making 25 more HP and 35 more torque than me.
7th, I'm not going to drive somewhere to just race someone unless it's at the track. In my original post, I just mentioned that if you and I are out & about...if you see me, I'll race...(obviously considering certain circumstances).
8th, I spent a lot less than you probably think I did. I'm under $5k as of now...it pays to shop around!
9th, stock internals other than valve springs...all the stuff I have is in my sig.

1. OFI's kit retains ALL factory hardware.
2. You're even w/ the cobra b/c of the weight difference.
good luck making more power.

1. Right, but how many people have OFI kits on right now...uhhh...like 0?
They just started shipping them out not too long ago and how long do you think that's going to take to install??...probably a lot longer than the STS kit!
2. My HP and TQ curves look a hell of a lot better than the Cobra's. Remember, peak HP and TQ levels aren't everything.
