LOL @ all the mileage questions If this is a question that will make or break your decision to go FI, well then it may not be for you. FWIW I get about 17mpg mixed city/hwy.

Be careful man. Its more car than I think I could handle and I've been riding 4-wheelers and dirt bikes since I was 3 (22 now). I was able to drive before I was 14 (not legally obviously) and have 100k+ under my belt, but I'm still afraid of 400+. It takes a lot of getting used to, and pushing the limits without significant development of car control instincts is going to be dangerous (on any level).

Now, I don't know you, and I have a friend who in high school could outdrive most anybody I've met (including a handful of professional drivers....who he has beaten in time trial competitions) but he also has been racing go karts since he was 6, and has a few WKA championships under his belt to prove it.

The best thing I can suggest, rather than flame and act jealous, is to get a weekend driving school package with skip barber or equivalent. At least earn your SCCA regional (preferably national) license so you have some high performance driving education. Its something I'm saving for and hoping to get my mom to buy for my dad (so we can do it together) when I can afford it.

Good luck, this is definitely an awesome car (and exactly the numbers I expected) and I look forward to seeing more results and implementations.

Question for PF...is there a reason to not run an intercooler with a separated top and bottom section, one turbo feeds in top of one side, the other bottom of the other side, and the intake air routes up to the intake from it, meaning the only point the airstreams join would be inside the intake manifold. I know its more "custom fab work" but I'd think you would get more equal air flow and maybe less piping from the drivers side turbo.

If its more than you think you can handle then turn off the BC and get use to the lower power. I remember the first time I got into a 450rwhp Z at orlando speed world. I showed it no mercy . First car i've driven with that kind of power, and it was fun, had no problem handling it. Mike will be fine.
