Nope, unless it comes down really heavy.

Check out harbor freight. I keep hearing good stuff about their tig, lifetime warranty, lots of wire etc. I highly considered picking one up until I realized the guy who does all of my fab work in Dallas does flawless work and I would still have him do it until I was almost as good as him. That and I would use it to make one 02 housing and never touch it again.

Wanted to see if there was any intrest for a group buy of these manifolds. I make these in house and they are top usdm quality.. We are expecting gains in the top end of 10% when used with a stock turbo. The only downside is the turbo sits lower but the gains are well worth it..If you want to use a larger turbo I will have to mock up some added support braces but it is designed to have some "flex" as well..





I am also thinking of selling my "turbo low compression pistons" as well..

Otherwise we're heading the opposite direction to hit the turnpike then turning around to come back down to Morgantown. It's a 15-20 minute drive from my house. Plus we get to smell amish poo.
Scenic route through Amish country +1.
Just don't hit the horse carriages like someone did in Center City the other day.

thats nutz! just another reason why I would never consider actual competition. hpde's are plenty of a rush for me.

not a bad idea. you're running the stock front bar now, right? if you're reusing those adjustable endlinks make sure there is no preload when you install the bar.

The way I installed it, it should not have any preload at all...

sna, you'll probably be faster on Z1's or RE-01R's in the rain then on your all seasons.
