He has an FCON, don't think he needs to worry in that department lol

Check it out and see what you think.

To me that thread is a Joke! IMO alot has changed since that thread was made.

Basically all that guy is saying is how to buy everything humanly possible at once instead of proggressing your setup to suit your needs as you go along.

I don't know about you guys, but i am not pissing away 20 G's if i don't NEED to and just to make me sleep better at night

I agree. I just think it gives somewhat a good idea of what you're getting into when you want to build up a motor and then go FI. I'm just going with some twins and a Fcon Vpro.

I'm probably going to go the SC route just because lol. Maybe if I'm ballin' I'll get bored and switch. But 450whp is doable so hell.

damnit.. bad news guys..


so i am leaving work today.. and i'm coming home getting off on the Stumph Blvd exit off of the Westbank Expressway.. as i am taking the exit, there was a spot that had lots of loose gravel just as you take a hard right turn.. i think i may have been pushing it pretty hard.. just as i am coming around this turn i see it coming and i can't do anything about it as it was too late... and i was going entirely too fast.

..



i think i threw some gravel up and may have nicked the underside of my side skirt... not sure yet, but i think i heard a pebble hit pretty hard. lol
