ok i ordered my gp sports kit today from www.raceonusa.com they told me it will be here on wednesday of next week or sooner.

ok the updated list of things to be done this week:

replace fuel line and filter
replace front rotors and brakes
put in a couple of gauges
put on the body kit and flat black the car
replce the used s5 alt on it for a new s5 one.

it should be pretty well tuned for 12psi already. I think im gonna leave it there for a while. this car will need to be somewhat reliable so i dont want to push it too hard. later ill pay someone to tune it up to 15, 18, 20? i dunno... we will see

What water/meth setup are you running? Nozzle sizes? When does it spray? Size of your resevoir? Size of the pump? Etc...

LMK I am curious

Thanks

Nice work bro.

I have the same FMIC and 3" piping Kit from ebay. It looks like you did'nt have to do any welding, is this correct? I would invest in better clamps though when you reach 400hp. Good luck.

NAPA autoparts has great stainless t-bolt clamps for about $2-3ea. They dont stock them so you have to get one of there guys to dig through one of their catalogues. It usually takes them 1-2days to get them in.

well over spring break i got some work done to the car. i took some pics. the car is not painted yet but the kit is on.

I fixed the going lean problem!!

It was indeed a clogged fuel line. I replaced the hard line with a 3/8 line. I also replace the fuel filter again to be sure.
The fuel pressure would go down under boost before.... now it goes up like it should.

We had a digital video cam with us and we didnt make any videos... im a bit upset about that.

but i did take some pics.







im going to flat balck it for now. ill decide on paint later when i have the money. I need some new tires.... these dont stick at all.

its the gp sports (gps) kit from www.raceonusa.com

the total was $648 shipped. shipping took 3 days from cali to NC. high quality stuff. tracking number and all.... great customer service. im happy with it.
the price on the site is a little higher, but when you call to order they will honor the current ebay price from one of their auctions.
499 for the kit.... 149 for shipping.

this kit took very little mods to make it fit.

I have the same kit. i can only say good things about their customer service. they even cut the shipping cost to $84 for me because i had it sent to a commercial address with a loading dock.
