380whp on 138k motor
Thanks for the feedback man...
My mind is now set on getting the AMS rebuild kit... for those who arent fimiliar with it... It comes with:
* AMS spec pistons
* Manley H-Beam Rods
* Clevite Main/Rod Bearings including Thrust Bearings
* ARP Main Stud Kit
* Mitsubishi Full Gasket Kit
Also included in the list is Buschurs STG3 Head/APR Head Studs
AMS claims that this setup is good for 625whp...
Questions:
1. Will the factory crankshaft be able to withstand over 500whp?... (remember this is going to be my DD/weekend track car)...
2. I know that the FP Black is suppose to be a direct bolt on but i still have to ask will the down-pipe i have connected on my stock turbo fit the fpblack?
3. Will i need to replace my LICP for this new set-up... or will the Injen LICP for the stock set-up work?
4. How much does a Intake Manifold port job usually run ($wise)...?
Being that i am moving to Florida I was torm between TTP Engineering and AWD Motorsports... so I visited each of there sites... read reviews... saw who members on here recommended more... but what really made up my mind was there channel on youtube... That being said i chose AWD-M for my building/tuning needs... I'll be seeing Mike very soon...

not sure about the downpipe, but i would go with an ETS LICP... the injen will hold you back, very restrictive... it was one of the reasons my fp black setup didnt make as much power as i thought it would have... from what i have heard the ams rebuild kit is pretty good and i know a few people running it with no problems so far... although im not sure if they are still on the factory CS or not...
