Truth is I've found failures at all power levels for a variety of different reasons. At my power level I feel comfortable, next is a BAP my FP is dipping a little low for my comfort zone. Once the BAP is installed I'll turn up the boost and get the car a little closer to the edge of what I personally am comfortable with.
The build cost more than I feel comfortable stating in a public forum, if you really want to know what it all cost pm me and I'll get u close.
As for FSP there a top quality shop that frankly has a lot of work, so much that I am still trying to finish some of my business with Matt. He barely has time to respond to text messages or emails and you can forget about calling the shop. That's been my experience anyway. If I had it to do all over again I think I would have found someone who is a little more available. I am not bashing anybody but for the amount of money I spent our business should be resolved and communication should be a given.

Good on the Drs. I bet you'll see a big difference. Street tires, even the good ones, they spin even at bolt-on levels. Your power level, I bet you're just spinning. Another question tho, have you gone to the track just for fun? Even if you can't launch it the way you want you should still be able to get a crazy MPH and have a blast whipping it!!
And I agree that it comes down to what you are comfortable with. Back a couple years ago I was looking for 700 to the wheels. But lately I decided that 550-600 is good enough for me. I wish I had that aggressive thinking again, I miss thinking like that. But after seeing a friend of mine trash his engine I got paranoid, lol!!
I can kind of guess what it may have costed based on the list. And yea it gets frustrating when a shop has no time for you. Its kinda like you're old news. Like they got their money outta ya and had fun with ya and now they're on to the next one. But I've seen all shops do that. Even if you went elsewhere you'd have the same problem. They have grade A customer service when they're trying to get your business. It diminishes when you get the car to them. It diminishes even more when they're working on it. Once you're out the door, you'd have an easier time getting the President to come to a dive bar with you, lol!!
