When he's not under boost! . . . that's like mattg trying to stay off the dyno. :P

All that is left is to now make the IC piping and do the installation!!

WOW...just got finished mopping up all the drool, looks great allmotor and congrats on all your hard work! After reading this thread I am realizing more and more how much it sucks having an auto tranny (read NO Availability) :'(

If you can make one for the auto, I will seriously consider over the SC...
Someone in cali must want this... sadly on the east coast, or after reading that you need a car for measurement, I would have been over in a heart beat

You've gotta raise the bar!

Now... with boost turned up to 8-9psi and the 370cc injectors flowing a good chunk of fuel.. and the engine not blowing up... who knows ?!?

If you noticed Scalbert's dyno there is a good 40whp to be gained from 5400RPM to 7000RPM at a given boost-level. According to this theory the next kit should net 395whp @ ~6psi. Since that is optimistic, I went for 20+whp... around 365'ish whp.

Okay folks... Kit #1 is complete and here is a picture of all the fabricated items (minus the intercooler which is already mounted in the car):

Aside from some prep work and installing the injectors, everything is ready for install. Kit #2 should be ready in ~1 week or slightly longer.
