Rob and big style

When I hear rally wheel I picture old chevy muscle cars. Whachutalkingboutwillis ?

Your better off buying a piece of **** with lots of dent, then you dont have to bully you can push.

Strobes work well too. We have strobes in alot of our bigger trucks. People move out the way pretty quick

Don't hold your breath. My wife says I always screw up something or the other when I work on my car and that I shouldn't. She's probably right. I might want to install everything this weekend, but I'll be really pushing my luck if I do everything right. God help me!!!

Parts going in this weekend:

1) Mishimoto Radiator & Hoses
2) ETS Intercooler Kit
3) ETS Intake
4) ETS V2 Exhaust with 300 cell HFC (Quad tip, hope it turned out nice, boxes still unopened in VA)

Following will be put on when I go to get tuned
5) Synapse BOV with entire connetivity kit(Group Buy taking forever to ship)
6) GrimmSpeed 3 port solenoid.

I am hoping for low 300s on pump gas.

I'm pretty sure I won't be setting any records, and Dan, you can forget about the race, Just the fact that you're running E85 is enough to blow me away. So what are you really pushing to the wheels, were you serious earlier? If so, holy cow!!!

BTW, at first sight, I read your previous statement as " get your pants on and tuned."

Too late, already bought everything.

Radiator is just insurance and a poor man's bling, I confess.

The bov for holding higher boost without fluttering. I know there's the crushed stock BOV route, but I want to see if I can push higher, even if its going to be inefficient to some extent.

As for the HFC, I definitely don't want the "stinking exhaust syndrome". Cops in Virginia will literally sniff me out. Its the same reason I got 50% tint in the front and 35% in the rears and back. Its all Virginia law allows for. I have had too many run-ins with the law than I want to admit, but I've been ticket free for two years now, knock on wood. Hoping to keep it that way. I don't even want to deal with a "Fix It" ticket.

FYI: I am registered in VA, but VA cops have the authority to pull even out of state cars for illegal tint and ticket them.

Yes, at least you didn't lose more than 17 seconds, right? You can be thankful for that. Wait...I can almost hear the Sinatra in the video.

That shouldn't be a problem with those mods.

I can understand. I have a TiAL I've been waiting to put on. However, I only bought it because I'm closer to 30psi.

what's the max boost you think I can push safely? just asking out of curiosity/lack of knowledge. I am thinking 25 to 27 psi, are those high expectations for pump 93?

I really want to max out the stock turbo and enjoy it to its full capacity for an year. I will look to upgrade the TC/manifold/DP and suspension stuff next year.
