I'm working on some mods that will be or are available to the public now/soon.
1st PPE Engineering 2.5" catless or catted downpipes. They are Stainless steel either with or without high flow perfromance cats. See Racing Headers for Toyota, Lexus , Lotus, Chevy and Pontiac | PPE Engineering for purchase.
2nd MOAR FUEL - The limiting factor of these motors is fuel, fuel fuel. How to address this? 1st Squash Performance dual in tank fuel pumps with new fuel lines to the car, add a fuel pressure regulator and install 6 injectors in the factory intake manifold. I've been working diligently on this one.

In tank fuel pump - Squash is almost ready to send me the prototype one, should be ready in a couple of weeks. I'm having them install dual flat bottom Walbros.

Auxillary fuel injectors - I bought a spare intake manifold off ebay from Rousch Yates, must be a take off from one of their ALMS motors they are building. The intake is at the shop of Bryon Pryde who is a master in fuel injector for the injectors and fuel rails to be fabbed up, should be done in a week or so.

Auxillary fuel injector controler - I had Split Second Split Second make a custom 6 injector controller for me, it was delivered 2 weeks ago.

Once that's all installed in the next 2 or 3 weeks I'll dyno the car on E85 on stock turbos so that I can see how much you can get out of the car with just a fuel upgrade.

Upgraded stock turbos - I'm working with Turbos Direct to test some upgraded stock turbos in my car, once I get fueling dialed in it should be just in time for them to send me the new turbos. Once I install them I will be re-tuning, hoping for around 500WHP with this setup in my Flex and some 11's this year.

Enjoy!
Mike

Injectors are installed! Next step is to get the intake manifold polished then coated:

This is a picture of my 2011 intake vs the 2013 intake. The 2013 intake is about $200 less expensive than the previous year and we couldn't find a difference.
