Dammm Last post on here was about 4 years ago haha, oh while im here I may as well do an update.
New items to be installed are:
T64 Turbonetics turbo, T4 housing, Billet Compressor wheel
Hi mount Manifold
Under Car Surge Tank
Bosch 044
AEM Water/Methanol Injection Kit
Stainless I/C Piping
CNC ported Cylinder Head
1mm oversize Intake & Exhaust Valves
Stainless Ferera Valves
HD Crow Cams double Valve Springs
Thige 272 Cam
ARP Stud Kit
Cometic Head Gasket
Thinks that's all, 370kw on 15psi, did a 12.6 at 116mph the other day, keen to go back and try and better the time but before I did I will change the Gear set in the diff to 3.9 as im hard on 3rd gear limiter going over the line, and its a bit laggy through the gears. also will get the launch control set up so I gan get boost off the line and maybe start in 2nd gear with the 3.9s, and some decent slicks, using some 17" slicks at the moment, will get some 15" steelied widened and get some new et streets.
Cheers hope you enjoy
