out of curiousity, why? I know to be more efficient, but is this really a concern on such low boost levels? Especially for what I would estimate the cost to be and factoring in shipping?

If you would've visited the site with the links I provided you would've read the cost. Turn around time is around two weeks. I did have to call to find that out.

Robert-

Looks like a nice project you got going there. I read the thread and I will keep an eye out as I want to see the finished product. I have a similar project in the works... PE TT Kit with all the extras, I did get a SFR intake manifold, looks sexy, probably not building the motor either. I get back from Iraq in April. Are you at Carson? That was my first duty station. Anyway, anything you learn please do share and good luck.

I was thinking about this and thought "Black Hole" would be a good license plate; "BLKHOLE." However I'm really leaning towards; "2X530BB"

Oh I see. Nice area, graduated high school in the Colorado Springs. Still a beautiful area. I was there for a couple of days on my R&R. Anyway, the SFR manifold, here is the thread I purchased it from.

I like the 2x530BB..No one will know exactly what it means unless they are up to date on the JWT or F/I in general... good choice..

You didn't want to get the new Cosworth CF Plenum? I know the wait is horrible, but I think the benefits for the F/I owners will be great!

Man I was pretty close to getting the Cosworth, I ended up with this one because SFR makes some great products and it just looks amazing. The wait wouldn't bother so much because, well hell, i'm over here anyway. If this manifold isn't doing me any justice I could always swap out for the Cosworth. You have a great list of products and I really want to see how it all turns out. You get back in March you said? You are about a month ahead of me......
