She's back on the road.....lots of new goodies (pics)
Well after about 7 weeks of working on the car, she is finally tuned and running great. What I just finished doing....Rikki style non-sequential running at 15.5 psi, silicone hoses(it was about time), Apex'i AVC-R, K2RD Sec. Fuel Rail, 1600cc Sec. Injectors, SX Fuel Pressure Regulator, Nippondenso Upgraded Fuel Pump, Double Throttle Removed, All emmisions blocked off. Did all those in my garage, then I took the car to Rotorsports Racing in Kannapolis for tuning and ended up having them install the DEI Intercooler and Intake Spray Kit, Defi Boost Gauge, Plug Wires. The car has noticable lag now with the 3.5 psi boost increase and nonsequential mod, but when it hits it is amazingly fast.
And now for the pics, there is alot.
That might change some minds about the USCC #35.

what would you rather have, It look a little bit better and have a rock infested intercooler or keep it safe. I didn't like the mesh that much either but I care about the intercooler core. And actually I have gotten many complements for the mesh. (And not from ricers)

all my parts are listed in my sig. The seats are made by Pegasus Auto Racing (Magnum) www.pegasusautoracing.com
And actually the wheels are CCW even though they look alot like fiske
HP numbers too come soon. I will be gone all next week but as soon as I get back the following week, I'm gonna see what she's got.
It had 300 rwhp last time I dyno'd it. That was on everything except what I just said I put on. And running 11.5 psi.

I'm surprised everyone hates the mesh so bad. It def. doesn't make the car look any better, if anything a little worse, but I really don't think it is terribly bad if you consider the purpose. In other words, I don't really like the way it looks, but it is def. staying on there.
Intake temps have not been tested yet, because I haven't got it on the track or dyno yet and am not planning on using the spray on the street.
