Bottom line is that it is that it does not really matter for our purposes below 3k, but the car is very drivable and is not too much different feeling than my car until the 5.5K rpm mark.

Guess I never pay attention to that myself, at the drag strip, road course, etc... I'm NEVER at that RPM.
Dragging - I slip the clutch at 3500
Road racing, when you shift you're NEVER below 4500rpm...

I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, just saying...
I agree it'd be nice to see the 2-3k range, but I think most people are mostly concerned with the 4k-redline range

more gas spent = less money in wallet = lower curb weight
More often than not, when you put these parts on the car, you tend to be "in the gas" more often, thus using more fuel. Its the nature of the beast.
yeah, well of course we'd all like more power. but as a daily driver around LA...with our hellish traffic, below 3k is important as well.
and though id spend thousands to get more power, that doesnt mean i dont mind getting 3 mpg around town.
damnit. maybe i should just move out of LA away from the traffic and the expensive 91 octane crap.

Anything that is going to make power is going to incur more fuel.

i hope you guys take the wraps off this soon, i'm starting to run out of engine mods without touching what i think are the crawford parts i'm going to have to buy as part of the package.
after this current round of mods and a round of suspension / wheels mods, your package is the next in line... so i put that about 4-6 weeks out... tick tock

Waiting on finishing up the first round of the cast plenum introduction orders.
As soon as time gets back to us, we will start again on the 300 hp project. My guess is by the end of the month.

It'll be interesting to see what the full 300hp Crawford tune up package will sell for. If the price isn't too high, it could be a more practical approach for a lot of people over FI, although FI seems to give the most horsepower per dollar invested.
