As long as nothing crazy happens (looking at you Orgo 2...), I'll be graduating in May. It really is a great school and from what I've experienced with our Chem department, I'm rather impressed. The grad students I've met all seemed top tier and the research going on apparently is as well. And being so local with a good offer, it makes sense that it's high on your list.

You'd just have to become accepting of Brown and White being your colors lol

 

The brown/white doesnt bother me. Just hoping it doesnt consume me like it has you

 

Some local dude is selling some dc shorty headers for $250... Think ill pick those up.

 

$250 is a good deal for those. I still need to message a local guy and see if I can steal his set if he still has them.

Also having a dilemma on my wheels. I love them, but in the same breath, I've always wanted Work Meisters. I'm talking to a guy now who seems very interested in buying them as well. I'd be profiting about $700 on the deal too. But my current wheels are so rare, I know that I will never get another set. While I can call up and order a set of Meisters any day of the week. This is difficult.

 

Its better to have loved and lost than never loved at all... $700 profit sounds like a good reason to part ways. One nice pothole and your screwed when you have rare wheels, and you actually drive your car.

 

She debuted in the sunlight for the first time. Ready of tune day

 

That color in the sunset though...

And we really need to teach you how to air out. Air out everywhere. Getting gas, running in for milk, stop lights. All of it

 

I generally do but this was me driving it out of the garage and I was about to clean wheels and tires

 

Well I know you 2 already saw it on Facebook, but here is the glory

 

Impressive numbers, how does it feel? You getting any traction in these cold temperatures?

 

Some decent but controllable spinning in second. Feels like a tank once the boost starts rolling in!

 

I'm interested to see if this will hook second perfectly with the Nittos and some warm weather. Once again, great numbers and making me even more anxious to do mine

 

Im thinking that the combination of new tires and 60 degrees with make it a beast in 2nd gear.

And speaking of which... Come get your box of Colton stuff at the farm haha

 

I just picked up these awesome 1hp adders.




Actually way nicer than the factory manifolds... Pretty happy I picked them up after seeing them.

 

I'll get them as soon as our schedules work out haha

And those look so much better than factory manifolds. Still need to pick up a set of headers, but my financial situation is crisis mode until June sadly.

 

I think im going to wrap them... Dont really know how much I should get though... Was going to order 2 2inch by 50 ft rolls... And then paint silicone high heat over the top...

Seems like a lot of wrap though

 

I did some measuring and the factory manifolds have a 1 1/2 inch exit... These are like 2 1/4... And seem so much nicer.

 

I put a little update on the FB post I made before tuning. But I put it through some tests yesterday. Ended up racing a few friends. We did 3 races each, each race from 40-120/130ish. First was a C5 with a bunch of mods (no forced induction). He decided not to spray nitrous to make it fair, said his car put down high 400s whp without nitrous. Had him by 1 car length all 3 pulls.

Second was a built stroker motor LS2 GTO. Makes 460whp. Same result as the corvette.

Third was a newish BMW 335i twin turbo with some mods, e85, and I'm not sure what else because he's one of those shady guys that likes to hide stuff. I know he roughly make 450ish whp and 520ish tq. He had me by about 1 car every pull.

So as of now, the little 3.5L that could is holding her ground against the big boys

 

All good runs! Those 335i's are always impressive to me. Especially the automatics, they'll beat you on transmission alone pretty much.

 

Yea they are good cars. Found out he pretty much has an entire upgraded turbo set as well. So I'm really not upset. And with 100 more torque, I think my car held up pretty well
