Default First paycheck...finally

Yes got my frist paycheck of summer on friday. On the way I have a clutch, ves dump valve butterfly (I'm making the rest of it), o2 sensor, upper control arms, assorted silicone, clamps, and exhaust parts...Finally the car should be running good.

Also I did some logging and found that my maf is being maxed out at 17psi even with a 3" housing. Time to step up to a 3.5" housing and 550cc injectors. Also I have been planning out my tubular manifold, and I will post pics if I can figure out how to use cad! Just an update, she should be at the track shortly

Yea she's getting there. A couple more weeks of long hrs like this and she will be done in no time. I also jsut saw a dyno of the ves adding 23.4whp on my exact set-up, and a while ago I saw adyno of a tubular manifold increase 19hp over a log manifold on an engine dyno..Things are looking promising

Ahahhaa I wouldnt go that far...I'm shooting for around 330-350whp, on pump gas which would make me the happiest person alive, but that nowhere near imola and realistcally, until I got with standalone, I will probably only make 300-310whp, which is no contest for imolas machine

Ahh I will def be asking you some question. I have basically no experience with cad so I want to learn, and thought about trying a manifold to learn. Of course I'm sure I'll try easier things first. But yea I will def have questions for you. Thanks
