Yea but I don't mind loosing 10-20 hp for safety...
Anyway I just got off the phone with Bobby. Very cool guy. Very Honest. I requested some pricing information and he's getting me setup for a install sometime mid-end September after the Formula D event.
I am looking for 350-360whp/wtq range. I will be happy with that. I'll probably keep my Nitrous on the system on top of that for some instant torque here and there.

I plan on building sometime in the next year to year and a half. I am going just run a low 35 shot or something on top of it. I might as well since I have all the stuff. Bobby said he could plumb it right in on top and make a separate map for both when needed. It will be fun. If It blows, then Christmas will come early and I'll have to build but until then it's ok. I've got 4 cars so it's definatly not my daily driver and I can live with the downtime. I feel like you always have to be prepared for downtime since anything can happen when you go FI.
It will be fun though...

I wanna find a shop who wants to attempt a TT STS build. 
That or let my local shop build it and fly someone up to tune it since I'll only trust 4 people to Tune my ride and they aren't one of them. heh

he lives about 2 mins away from me.....hopefully he mans up and joins the club lol

Hey, if you are thinking of upgrading your Engine then I suggest you call STS for other option for Turbo, they have 60-1 drop in and even a GT67, they even have BB upgrade for all turbo. Oh, I just confirmed this with Rick that the STS FMIC is already on the restricted side at 8+PSI
(Tube/Fine design) so you may want to upgrade the IC at least.

I'm just fortunate enough to have a built motor. Fortunate? I guess unfortunate enough to have NEEDED a new motor

what is a BB upgrade? also are there any intercoolers with the same dimensions so that it could just be bolted on without any modification to the piping?
