Im sure you can get that car down inat 11 flat if not lower when done. That car you are talking about im sure had plenty left to do and was on street tires.

I am with you on 93 numbers. I rather see someone make realistic daily numbers with 93 + meth then c16. But then again, its not like you are going to be able to turn a turbo 35-40psi on anything less than that.

So my FMIC arrived today I went one size larger then I needed because the waiting time for the one I wanted just kept growing now if my intake manifold and turbo kit would come off backorder I could get the install started I'm gonna do the exhaust some time this week just because I'm tired of waiting for parts to arrive I will prolly mount the pump/controller for the WM this week also.

I've changed my intake manifold to a Dahlback big port instead of the RMR big port and now I just have to wait untill the end of may for the V-Banded manifold from pagparts backorder while dissapointing is kinda usefull since while I wait I will prolly mount the W/M system and the FMIC and save some installation money I did the exhaust last week minus the downpipe of course.



-Edit- I also decided to go with Pauter rods instead of the scat rods and got an ajustable cam sprocket as recomended by Bob at QEDpower.com if anyone is planning to do work on your engine I would recomend talking to him he is very knowledgable and responds quickly to questions through emails.

So you ARE the one that took that manifold off Issam's hands. It being a big port will help alot more than the small port version.

I do have to ? why you went to the way more expensive pauter rods over the scats? The scats will be more than enough for your project and about 1/2 the cost. But hey, if you have the money for nicer x-beam rods, more power to you [sm=smiley20.gif]

I was thinking ahead just in case I decide to do more upgrades later since I think my dream of swapping in the V8 out of an S4 will require quite a bit of time

You arent going to fit a longitude V8 in the engine bay. A 2.7T has fit, but not all that pretty. A 3.2 VR6 swap would actually be the best swap with a 24V VR6 (2.8L) being a close second. Both of these engines will work and give plenty of displacement to run a gt35-gt40 turbos with min. lag and make 600-800whp.
