Yeah, it kind of leaves it wide open for interpretation. Hence why i'm asking. in here and in that other thread.

Financing? That could make this a reality for a lot more people!!

Apparently they where trying to find a company that financed the kits to us. They already accept CC.

Good luck! I'll be reading up on your progress.

Yeah, the boost doesn't really kick-in in 1st gear much, probably around 3K or so and then only gets to about 5 psi, but second gear is pretty strong since the rpm's are already at around 3k and boost is already at 5 psi then tops at around 7 psi by about 4k. I know the boost gauge wasn't in focus. We need to get a camera mount for inside the car. Hopefully on the dyno runs we get a clearer picture of the HP/TQ curves.

Any idea of how soon you might be able to get it on a dyno??

You know.. I made my own camera mount. got a 5/8" copper pipe from Home Depot, line it up on the head rest, mark the areas that the bars are at, drill some holes evenly spaced and use a u-bolt, then drill another hole at the end of the pipe, and screw on a camera mount, pop some end caps on it, paint it, call it a day. works great! and costs about $15.00.

I like the piller pod you got too, cant wait to see some more videos and that dyno sheet.

Not sure. I still need to data log for Trifecta to do the fine tuning and I was waiting for the Meth/Water injection kit from STS. Didn't want to spend the $'s on 2 dyno runs. I'm checking another source to see if I can get a cheaper dyno now so I can get some numbers for everyone and do a final after everything is done. Will let you know. Thanks, Z

Z,

You tried RAD Motorports in Waipahu they have a dyno? Don't know if he is still in buisness. I use to work with the owner.

Z I noticed you're fogs are on with your headlights and they look like HID units vs the the faux fogs...er DRLs. Who makes those? And is the install something a know nothing can do? Sorry for the sidetrack but they look awesome. And of course the car sounds amazing. Christmas bonus can't come soon enough. Wife wants a boat or wave runners-it's gonna get interesting. LOL.
