Been in the Navy 15 years, 2 West pacs, 2 East pacs, too many workups, about a dozen countries and the closest I ever got is when we were in Singapore. Just 1 degree north of the equator!!!! How's that for the bad luck.
At least I have crossed the international dateline several times. What's that called again????

Back to the forged internals...
Just did another street tune this morning and all I can say is, "you gotta here this beast growl" She's now street tuned safely up to 4500 RPMS but I am keeping it under 4K and less than 5psi of boost. The defi gauges are so freakin sweet. I have alarm setpoints set, it tells me my peak readings and can even record the gauge data for up to three minutes.
My dyno is set for Saturday morning and I will post my numbers then.

GOT MY REAR WHEELS TODAY!!!!
Yeah, believe it or not I am no longer going to be sporting those stockers anymore. I received two rear wheels today and UPS tracking numbers says the tow front ones will be here friday.
These are Volks SF Challenge in Rays Metal Coat
front:
19x9.5 (sorry, can't remember my offset for the fronts, let you know friday)
245/35r19 BF Goodrich g-force KDWs
Rear:
19x10.5 +23
285/35r19 BF Goodrich g-force KDWs
These wheels look incredible in person, and are really hard to get good pictures of this Rays Metal Coat!!!!

You !@#$@!
You got me!!! I was about to run to the "secret" place in my house where I'm hiding them and check for scratches!!!
BTW, the secret place is in my bed, I kicked the wife out tonight,lol.
Thank god she doesn't read the forums.
Bling Bling! I love the wheels...EXCELLENT choice. I think they will match the look of your roadster perfectly. And the metal coat....dead sexy. 
let us know how the traction improves with those KDWII's.
