You can clearly hear the boost was not stable.

You are very right Chris. in 3rd 4th and 5th you could actually feel the car lurch as the ECM hunted for the target boost. It's a shame it didn't last a few more passes .

Check your PMs. I have many questions.

Man when you hit the 2step that first time I swear I saw about 20 people run for their lives.

Congrats again Allen... That's something I definitely didn't think I would ever see at SAR, an rx3 making a 9sec pass haha, it was well worth the cost of that motor I'd say.

Well the price just keeps going up. I think i am going to try a different route for a while. I hate to do it but what can you do? I am going to be selling my ported JW intake with injector bungs and ceramic coating, my entire water to air intercooler setup with heat exchanger and pump, a digital 6 msd, magna fuel regulator, and a weldon fuel pump. If your interested shoot me a PM.

Nope it's still very useable. I've seen much worse get the job done.

Was going to say the same thing.......... That wheel doesn't look too bad.

Allen, before you sell that JW intake............... remember that JW is no longer making them. So, what they have in stock now is all they'll have.

Unless you're next setup will be a cust unit.
