Thanks. If those wraps can reduce rasp then I'm all for that. Your build is awesome and I'll probably mimic you in a lot of ways.
You ever consider the cosworth intake plenum? I bet your build can benefit from it now. It would suck on an otherwise non-built NA DE.
03threefiftyz, I saw the headers but I was curious to see how the rest of the exhaust looked.

Ok, just pointing out that there was a pic of the headers wrapped as well...

Highly doubtful that I will go with the cosworth at this time. I really don't think it's because of the heads not being worked on , but being NA there really hasn't been any compelling results showing that any headworks is beneficial. Even once I up my rev and do some VVT tuning, i really don't think the coworth will be helpful.
However Adam from Z1 is doing something new with the cosworth on his car and if that turns out positive, it might peak my interest, but his car is a lot more modified then mine and his plan with the intake is a full custom job. Who knows though, i really didn't think i would do any engine work at the beginning of this year and now i'm in neck deep already.

You have really good numbers for only those mods, but to be exact i picked up 26hp/16tq now comes the question of whether it's worth it or not. for that extra power it cost me 3k...

03threefiftyz or gabe3d,
I'm curious. Is there any point running a 3" intake with stock exhaust, headers, etc? I want to buy the samco tube, and apexi filer but I'm not running an aftermarket exhaust.

If you were to buy the 3" MAF, would it matter if the intake tube was slightly smaller than 3"?
The reason i ask is because i have the Mishimoto Carbon Fibre intake which has a CF intake tube and was not really wanting to change it.

It would be better if it was all the same size.
Having said that, I have a stock Pop Charger in front of my 3 inch MAF tube. I'm planning to have a friend chuck it up in his lathe and open the end up to the size of the 3 inch MAF tube. It's a little bigger than 3 inches as I remember.
