I am confident that the car has a lot more in it with something other than pump gas running threw it... I would love to see 650whp on Forged's dyno next time I come down for more tuning. I would love to see if that can be done with 93 octane and water/meyth injection. We will see!
I came down there with 550whp pump gas as my goal and I think we got clsoe enough...
I need to see I I can get you guys some better pictures of the car... You are right these kinda suck...

Hotness!!! Nice meeting you at Forged.
Pictures don't do your car justice....

the car is beautiful and i like the wing.congrats on building the engine your self,i think it just means more when you do it yourself.a lot of my buddies said i was nuts to install my s/c myself...........if you can do it then do it.
Next time you are in the fort...let me know!! I'd love to see the car in person. Also, you should start coming to the Indy get togethers we've been having. I'm down there occasionally for work...and we usually meet up for a couple beers after I get off work. We'd love to see your car!
Sounds like it's sweet and looks great. Congrats!!!

Thanks! I almost did the kit you have instead... I voted for your ride in the contest. The V2 and the Ings Half kit are my 2 favorites.
Cosworth heads / cams... $5-6k easy
Power gains... 65rwhp
Turning up the boost 1-2 psi... FREE
Power gains... 65+rwhp easy
Figuring out that almost EVERY dyno chart on this board shows a peak power point at about 6500rpm and that big head work yeilds so little gain for the money invested... PRICELESS
NOW, I'll say that you're numbers are DAMN nice and I'll give HUGE props to anyone that's got the ***** to do their own work. Congrats on the build and congrats on the tune. Also ONE question: why did you get boost creep/spike issues with an EBC??? Is the GReddy unit not up to the task?
