the south bay rotary meet will implode the moment you drive this into the parking lot running and all done. lol until then, i still look forward when this mighty project will be up and running. i need to see you drive this beast already. almost there jaime!!! keep it up!! sure, it's tiny steps and may not be satisfying other people's preference of order of build but it shall run soon! i know it!!

Yeah that turbo comes on early and kicks hard too. And just think..that's at only like 280 rwhp. Once the fuel supporting mods are added and it's retuned at 20psi you'll have more than 400 rwhp

If you get it tuned right, should get reasonable mileage as long as you stay off the pedal

You don't need a full tank to start the car 2gallons will do.

Like Macz said, the gas mileage will be about the same with a good tune. Hell it might even improve, since the tune that's on it is kinda rough. Just know that when the baby eater spools up it wants LOTS of fuel
