I almost forgot! Get the passenger seat scotchguarded too! Makes it easier to clean up the mess when your cup holder leaks under the G-FORCE. Silvr94r2 has a nice pic of my ideal cup-holder in his avatar!

just for reference, that car was tuned by Justin Nenni, not Fernando.

If it were me I would go with Hass Dandachli set up at Protech Auto in Texas. It goes like this, Streetport, T-78, E6k, made 490rwhp at 17psi and 628rwhp on a 75 shot,
tuned by Fernando at Protech and the set up looks sweet. If your going from stock motor to 490rwhp then that will seem like 600rwhp and if you need more just push a button. There are people that will tell you NOS is for losers but with a turbo I think its just a good combo and it cant be worse than running 25 or 30psi on a engine. Fernando seems to think it is a good idea and it works for him so I going to give it a shot as well. All my info come from Februarys isue of Super Street and talking to Fernando at Protech. Hope this helps

That engine is not a typical streetported engine either. John has done some extra things to it to help with the torque and high rpms.

Fernando doesn't tune the PT cars, Justin tunes them.

I've personally seen some bad Pineapple motors - no good from the get-go. Go RP and you won't break (they run-in their engines on an engine stand before they ship them). 600 RWHP for the street for this kid ain't gonna happen; there's just too much stuff involved. A bullet-proof 500 RWHP is still a stretch. Go for the solid bottom-end torque and keep a realistic 0 to 100 mph time / quarter time under 11.9 sec and you'll have much more fun all the time.

Pineapple makes good motors, and so does a bounch of other tuners such as gotham racing, and KD rotary. I may just get my engine ported and rebuilt by Hector over here in DE....he makes some badass engines.

I personally have installed about twenty pineapple motors and can say I haven't had a problem yet so, I would be hard pressed to say they are not any good.
