lookin for around 250whp and 230tq until i can afford turbo-grind cams and a few other little things to achieve maybe 280 if i can get the tune real good, still learning how to tune though so we will see what i get out of it…this all on stock internals and 9.8psi ---

Mike , I’m tryin to stay on good grounds here. I still wanna play the party and everything. I still wanna stay on good terms, but cmon man how can you possibly bash nick for working on my car. over the course of 3 days and many hours, you hooked up a vaccuum line…thats it. The whole turbo fiasco, which, you know i was going to wave, seeing as i was going to use the money i was paying you to work on the car to buy a new one, but, you didnt work on it, so am i going to see a 16g at all? a 14b does not replace a 16g, its a huge differance. Nick is only one guy and can only do so much w\ the products **_I_** supplied him with. Fuzzyfish and Long have been helping out as well recently with wiring and such, and a huuuuge thanks to those guys too. :tup: It may be taking 3 weeks but why is that bad, if its done right and done with care and not rushed?
