I bet those block of plates were significantly cheaper than the craftsquare mirrors and I heard about that race last weekend, we hope to be there too

looking sick

 

Thanks sir! They'll get the job done!

Thanks Warren. Yes, much cheaper lol.

Sounds great, hopefully I'll see you there!

Sidenote- im very excited to get my catch can off you

 

I coulda made you ones for cheap Scott and would of saved ya a little time lol. They look good tho!

Which standing mile event are you attending? We are having the wannagofast's chicago 1/2mi event in June Id say sign up but I think all the spots are sold out for both days. There are a few evos attending and I'm sure some exotics feelings will be hurt

 

Thanks Jason. Yeah I know you definitely could have for sure. I have fun doing little projects like this though on the car. I think they are the most fun

There's a local one in Michigan called the "Michigan Mile" at an airport. 1 mile long with .7 mile shut down.

I'd probably be down but I have so many events going on between late may and early June including the Buschur sport compact shootout and a wedding down in NC lol.

 

More events the merrier! I think I'm going to try and make it to the sport compact too. My cars been in hibernation for 2yrs so I think its time to come out an play

 

You definitely have to come to the sport compact man! It's a blast.

Also, I think I may have to put a project log thread up of my daily driver that I brought back to life from being smashed

 

I have a few friends going to that. It didn't sound like a competition to me so I had no interest in running my car hard just to do it. I might make a trip up to hangout though.

Block offs look good scott.

 

all parts have come in for that, all engineering is complete, time to cut some metal

 

So I'm switching from the AMS f1i to Curt Browns extreme 70mm manifold. It's going to make more power and TQ before 6500, then either stay close or loose power up top. I am doing a back to back comparison to see the true changes in the powerband.. If it was a 2.3 or 2.4l i'd consider keeping it. People have gone high 150mph on these so it should work quite well (with buschur basic ported buschur and AWD have gone 159/160 - STM went 150 with 6262 on their ported manifold).

a) i miss the stock manifold, having everything on top is nice
b) im willing to sacrifice a little power for it
c) i need money for another area of the car that is another update I'll have soon.

here's some pics, came in the mail today

 

I want to see some results...
I have a AMS F1, and I know the pain with everything on the bottom

 

I'll take the f1 and the les paul from you scott

 

It's proven itself in cars that et. You'll be fine for sure, plus it weighs less

 

I will post up the dyno graph comparing eachother

Yeah it should do good for me. I don't plan to to go over 160 anytime soon haha.

It's not a les Paul, it's an ESP ltd ec-1000

 

The f1i is sold already, sorry sir.

 

I was going to purchase AMS but once I saw CB manifold. I sent him mine.
