The good news is my car is running great and wants to make more power. So my next mod will be the smc methanol kit. hopefully I can get 290whp or even 300whp on methanol. But i'm not gonna do that for a few months still. I'm also gonna probably get the buddy club grounding kit and perrin pulley. AFter that i'm done with the car...hehe

Saw you ride at GST the other day. Nice looking car. I saw it just before Mike loaded it on the dyno. Didn't stick around for the session. Glad to hear it worked out for you. FWIW my car was there as well, the POS black wagon that breaks down every other week... If you spend some time at GST you'll see it quite a bit.

I have a USDM 2.5L with a TD06 20G. Plus all the trimmings that go along with it. Before warned: The tanny will go out on you. Plan at least $2500 for tranny, $500 for clutch. Might as well do the flywheel while your at it.
Oh yea, your right it is a lot of power.
