To be honest with ya i had purchased a kit from Hahn for it but i like to be a little different and Ive used spray for a long time and have had good luck with it so i figured id continue the Na journey. kinda liked having a car that not alot of people build to the extent. most people when there here 1g neon they think so riced out stereo filled neon with big fart can and a body kit that doesn’t fit :lol. ---

Met you several times. Always good conversations. Awesome times for minimal mods but paying for spray over and over again is crushing. You might want to consider going with a small turbo setup which would probably yield similiar power and maybe even spray on top of that. Some people are all for NA though but I would consider it. ---

yes Shawn it was always nice to have normal conversations with people at the lot with out all the drama and bull. the paying for spray is def crushing i was just going through paper work the other day and came across the receipts from all my bottle fills and it added up over 800.00 worth the spray over 2 summers. like i said earlier i had purchased a Hahn stage one kit with the popular 16g turbo and was going to spray on top but plans changed and stayed on track with the spray route mainly cause Ive had really awesome luck with the combo due to the amount of time spent with Morgan at synapse tuning it for me and just keeping up with always checking plugs when changing shot sizes timing and oil changes. i had put a large number of miles on my original block that was stock bottom end which i still have as a back up. its has been a long time steve hows things been? yes the dunkin donuts run were always fun just had to make sure both hands were on the coffees :mwahaha ---

Yea. The spray is a bit here and there but it adds up. The turbo kit would be one big payment. The tuning shouldnt be that bad either. Consider it. 🙂 ---
