Love that color. Can't wait to see the results.

A forged piston is the way to go if you can. Having said that theres nothing wrong with the cast piston if other things are kept in check. I've run over 20 psi a couple of times and had no issues.

My wife does that noise everytime I say something in the "debbie downer" tradition. Hahaha

Wow, time flys if it's not your car. I knew it had been awhile but, I had no idea it was 4 years. That's a long time!

i don't know about the difference with front or rear drive. I'm sure there is one but, I don't know the numbers for it. I just stick to the 15% number.

Most people say "Crank HP" but, since the flywheel is dircetly bolted to the crank I guess you could use either term. A general rule of thumb say you have 15% diveline loss. So multiply 350 by 15% and theres you #. I've read as much as 25% is lost in the drivetrain but, I'm pretty conseravtive so I use the 15% number.

Well said!

I have one on my car. If I take it off I can tell a difference.

All is good. I work and have work with lot and lots of differnet people. I've come to learn that sometimes "we" the general puplic are not able to deal with all people and thier lies or habits that they have. It becomes so much easier at times to just deal with them and let them be as they are. Next time I deal with an oddball, this thread will come to mind and I'll think differently about how to deal with them.

Where did that come from? I never said we were mean to the guy or anything like that. He would just drive up and start spewing lies and crazy stories. At first we tried to question him about it since they were obvious lies but, he would insist on it being the truth. After while of this he just let him hang around and talk. The mean thing to do would have been to tell him what a crazy person he was and not let him hang around. Don't insult me about somthing you really can't talk about since you really have no clue!

Where did you get your holset? Are you upgrading from the t-3?

I thought that might be the case but, I was hoping it wasn't. Oh well.

What happened to the rims and the super low stance?

I agree more pics. Some that we could actually see would also be good. thanks

Wow, those are some nice hand made flares. That takes talnet to make something like that.

Ask Bob Norwood about sticking your finger into something like that. He'll tell ya it's needed for something like that. He lost part of a finger in a supercharger not to long ago.

That was good. The sad part is that I once know a guy just like that. We used to talk to him just to get jokes for latter in the day. Sometimes we still use him as the butt of jokes and it's been about 10 years since we've seen him last. I love those guys! Thanks for the reminder!

That's one hella turbo but, I have to agree about the parts store bought hose clamps that won't last one run!

Sorry to see you go but, best of luck to you!

This really sounds like a stupid idea to me. Even if the cop is totally uninformed about whats going on with your car. Telling him something like that sounds like a long afternoon of sitting and waiting for him to call all his buddies over and they make sure to find something wrong with you or the car.

Do a search for his name and you'll find lots of good info about his new combo. About the TB, it all depends on your set up. You can't make that a statement about all combinations. It depends on if your vehicle could use more air or not.

Funny you posted pics about this I was wondering about it the other day. Looking good. BTW, are you going to polish the manifold? That would look sweet!

One of the proublems with this area is that you can't get to the back side of it. Is there a rust stopper preventer I can spray into the hole first?

One of the better ones that you can try are out of the 90's model Maxima. I forget which one but, They almost all put out atleast 80 amps.
