marc, thanks for the input. i didn't know too much about them when i first came across. looks like i got some choices to make.

tim, i may take you up on that installer. it is too tall of a job to ask someone to help out with for just pizza and beer. plus i dont at all feel comfortable attempting it myself. can i use the OEM o2 sensor or do i have to pick a new one up?

I've got the Magic pads as well. They have squeeked a few times though. Could be the power slot rotors. Overall I like them alot. Those guys are putting down some fast traps. I don't think I'll be hitting 120's without meth.

There was a sick rotary powered corolla that made a 7.91 pass out of nowhere..

Ben's car surprised me, with a guestimate tune, she ended up hitting 124+mph lol and was breaking the tires loose in 2nd gear, I think he went 11.5, traction was definitely an issue. I think she may be a 10 second car after all He actually ran faster with less power 11.5@117 vs 11.6@124.. Cooler day with better track prep his car is gonna roll

I will post up the vids tommorow
Yes good time last night guys. The evos movin pretty quick now thanks to pete. That corolla was definately not something I expected to see. That thing was awesome!

BR 3065 kit with cast manifold, also his car is not tuned yet, just "eyeballed" from what he told me his gauge was telling him.. There was too much traffic to even do a pull on the way to the track and get a decent datalog..

FWIW I am liking that 3065, never been in a car with one before.. Full boost by 4000, plenty of tq., and we'll see what kind of power she can make

Damn!!! I'm not trying to bench race but do you know if the 3065 flows more lb/min than the FP Red? Just trying to get an idea of what mine might do. I know, I know....you're probably reading this thinking GET TO THE DAMN TRACK AND FIND OUT!!!.....haha. I won't get there until the 16th.

From what I have read, the FP red should flow more peak.. But without compressor maps its tough to tell which does what at a given pressure.

Sounds good Import Junky. I know of at least 5-6 evos that are going. Hopefully we can get at lesat 120 cars there. I would be really happy with that.

Last year we got 40 or so. So, this year is a big improvement. I move away from Philly though, so next year i guess Brian from tuners will have to organize this.
