That's right out of the box. Comptech will only produce about 70-80 WHP. I read alot on the turbo kits, but from what i've read, not very street drivable, hence the name (drag turbo kits). Also, not very reliable. People try to run too much boost with turbo kit.

Civic, good to see you are joining the transmission problem-less side
Inferno, it has been awhile, I've been busy as hell pretty much.
Mantis, yes it was a sad moment. And ironically I may be moving out of that area soon. Lease is up in June. AND DSL BLOWS!!!!!!!!
And who's got a Z06 these days??!? My buddy (long time DNE member) upgraded from his 03 max to an 04 Yellow Z06. He's up in McKinney. The best way to spot him is the Keith Craft sticker on the rear window. He's lowered, chrome Z06 wheels, and NO SIDE MOLDING!!! (so pretty). He's sprayin pushin 510/533 to the wheel on a 125 shot. hehe

the guy may end up backing out as he said he orginally ment to say local buyers had 1st dibs.
But, if the local guy who's replied doesn't come thru within 24hrs. . . he said they'd be mine for $625 shipped.

3) The GM center console is an embarrassment to all nice cars. Sometimes I think I'm sitting in a Pontiac Sunfire -- until I start the engine.

Damn, I am going to have a lot of catrching up to do. However, I absolutley have to get things done today. So, keep up the good work guys and I will be back later on tonight!

I'd agree.
Only problem I had was with the gasket, and that because my dumbass didn't get new ones. But other than that, mine are perfect.
