I'm tellin' ya man, we tried everything to not have to bang up the pipes ...nothing worked. Do you have those swaybar mounts? We only had to get .25-.5" from where we dinged it to get 2-3" of travel at the turbo. What's done is done though, can't wait to drive it
yes i have the swaybar on it still

are you the one with the comp. orange Cobra? it turns out my uncle has a brand new set of 60lb injectors lying around, so I am going to swap them out tomorrow if Cory's parents will let me do it in front of their house! :D

to everyone else ...I had fuel SPEWING from one of my injectors today ...like a garden hose at idle. possibly a bad seal since these injectors were used (80mi on them). ...or, we noticed a scratch or two in one of the ports from the rails, I hope this isn't causing any abnormalities ....my dyno is TUESDAY! :eek:

Sounds like an o ring... good luck Tuesday!

By the way... sounds like you already have a tune? Or is it just a mail order and Chris will be tuning/pulling it tomorrow?

its just an email tune from Rick @ Amazon to get me back home from where I worked on the car. Chris will be tuning/pulling for a few days.

alright, just heard back. my wastegate springs are only good for 10lbs and since I was a lazya** not connecting up my boost controller, that's all they could tune to. So at 10lbs it pumped out 510whp / 490tq ...very humid today, but are still great numbers. I am picking it up tomorrow morning and driving it straight to Carlisle!

oh and I do have drainback issues. I have a Westech scavange pump lying around that I will put on at some point.
