That way if the engine moves enough to touch it, its padded and will not wear thru for years if ever).
So, I sent along this advice but they'd already taken care of it Damn, those guys are awesome ...



Also, we found our first defective part ... 2.5 inch test pipes from AAM ... Don't think that this bung should be located here !!!!

My Clutch suffered a similar fate, getting rid of the JWT.
Not impressed by the explanation of the retaining clips just giving way, and that they are not including them anymore.

You have a problem! it's called 550cc injectors, with such nice built you'll need to go to the 750cc.

I don't see it as a problem, for now I'm aiming for low 500's so 550cc is fine. Once I do heads, cams etc next year I'll upgrade to 1000cc ...

The blow off valve and pipe below the MAF has been sent out for a bit of tig welding and should be on tomorrow, we are gonna start the thing up on wednesday (after I setup the UTEC) ...

BTW, I'll be in Albuquerque on the 14th-16th seeing my GF's family, we should hook up

Very nice pics!

That front end is screaming for a bumper brace. I wouldn't want to be driving around without one with all that money under the hood.

Very nice setup man. I'm from Seattle as well, where exactly are you located? My car is in the works for the exact same thing and it's down with Scott at SVRTechnologies and he's doing all my work. He also told me about John over at RREV to tune the UTEC and so I will give him a shot. Who tunes UTEC around here?
