Wait so all you swapped on was the COP? It would be a good time to do a before and after to see if it helped with the power curve at all.

So what are your goals from this point forward with the car?

Yep that was it.. I am actually going to do a before and after on a dynodynamics dyno on Weds.. I will post the results.

As far as future plans.. not much else at this point as the car is almost perfect (for me anyway)

MAP Rev3 Intake
Full blown 70mm TB
MAP Full 3" Eliminator DP
JDM Rear

I'll prob clean up the bay a little as well.

LOL i meant whats the purpose of the car, you trying to have a wicked fast street car an just have fun or you shooting for some 10 second 1/4 times or are you going to give the curves a try???

Those 3 mods you listed might make a world of difference anxious to see what happens at these power levels.

OK. Thanks. I appreciate you clearing that up for me.

Oh the pump... I am really getting skeptical on my pump of choice. I would like to keep the fuel system very simple and if the Walbro 400lph can push enough for +600whp on E85, then I need to purchase one.

Just a fun street car. I may hit the drag strip a few times this year and maybe some instructor led courses as I am a ****ty driver. Lol

The UICP was a custom job for me. I am sure Chris could hook you up if interested.

I cant give specifics as we arent having 'paid proffesionals' instruct.
But i help organize all the road course and autox events, If your serious about learning make an effort to come up friday and do the autox first ill personally make sure i ride along and help instruct you on some basics that will get you ready for the road course saturday and or sunday.
I know for sure friday evening i will have some free time, and saturday/sunday at the lapping day/time attack there will be 'experienced' drivers there that will go out and instruct with you on course along with myself.

Its not a driving school but everyone that is with my crew is there to help and i know we have a dozen well qualified 'instructors' that are friendly and willing to lend a hand.

If your serious about wanting to do it sign up and let me know ill go out of my way to help you. Follow the link in my signature if you would like to preregister or get more info on whats going on this year.

The only things you will need are, A helmet, newish brake pads ( would be great to have a set of front 'track' pads) and bring some fresh fluid with you to the track. And of course the car will need to pass tech.
One other thing that is nice to have done but not neccesary is a nice square semi aggresive alignment.
