Victor: I must say that your car is tight... Tight like a tiger... The ride up to see SWAT81 and TwinTurbo93 was sweet... Every time you shifted that beautiful sound from the blowoff valve was like music to my ears.... Now its time for 10psi so you can get the full effect...

Thanks guys,
And to answer a few questions....
The Turbo: is a new medium size Turbo. Got it for $575 (Garrett T4E, P trim, .60 AR Compressor, and .69 AR Turbine)..... for Fast spool
The scoop hood is a generic one. Got it on Ebay for $20 bucks. I did some modification so that it would look right.
THe Carb cover is from Turbonetics. Paid about $115

I really like the car, and I can't wait to see some dyno numbers. I would love to do a motor swap or something with my car.

Did you just have a regular street port done?
