Your right. Since I will keep this car N/A I don't know what else performance wise I can do either. I would really have to spend some big bucks from this point on for head work, etc. and would not realize much gain even at that. The other "ace in the hole" I am hoping for is that Brent can find me a few more ponies with a custom dyno tune over his canned tune I am running now. That is an unknown in my mine at this time.

Tom if GMS sold these I would buy one!.....So I could do a write up on it, then watch JR post constantly on why it wasn't working! those two GMS Turbo install threads are some of the best humor on the internet.....

What is this..
some kind of challenge? 
What I could hope for is 1 more HP than Tom and 1 more ft/lb of Torque than Darrell and than go race Ben and kick his butt.
Now I could have a high time with that. 
But in all reality that won't happen. 
I will take an educated guess. But I need to give you my starting point. My last dyno pull at Brenspeed in Oct. was 278hp / 294 torque. Since then I will add the following: Added delete plates, Earls brake lines,Spydieshaft, OBX longtubes, Comp cams and an ace-in-the-hole I can't tell you about. So here goes my guess. 315hp/325 torque. Like I said in the past. All I am shooting for is to get my auto tranny stang over the 300/300 mark naturally asperated. Some how I am sure my guess won't happen but anything over 300/300 I will be happy with. So if I'm right can Karen and I spend a week with you in Florida at no cost?

Tom, The clutch is good. A little getting use to because myself being a power shifter. I've missed third a few times but it doesn't grind it just doesn't go in at all. Installed @ work (Ford dealership) Stock flywheel.

Geez thanks Scott you're a big help as usual.....
if I could just unload these friggin' SLP Loudmouths, I'd be almost 1/2 way to getting the shaft. (so to speak)

Maybe you should let me sell them for you.
I just sold my Prochamber in the last hour and never advertised it. You actually sold it for me in that thread where you called dibs. Thanks for the help. And I like your avatar better now. That guy with the bowel cramp always freaked me out.

It's Maynard James Keenan to you, meathead......
You and Old Indian Dude are just jealous that you can't quite manage to pass that same style of bowel movement.

If I didn't have my eye about 1300.00 worth of goodies from Brent I would get one of those driveshafts. NSR Cams, C&L Racer Intake, BBK Throttle Body and CMDP .
I think I am gonna forget the Blower, I can fill a N2O bottle alot of times for 3700.00.

No not Maynard again!!!!!!!!! I'll send you your commission in a stool softner of your choice.
In to work early today to get a few things done before Larry (Aircare84) gets here around 8-8:30. Todays the day for my OBX header install. Shouldn't take too long since everything is basically removed and ready to install and we have been thru it once on his car.
Hey Ben,
Get that stuff ordered. Maybe Brenspeed can do a double cam install on Feb. 15th. Worth a phone call. Talk to Dave.
