After all of the parts were installed i took the car to NICKEY to have a dyno tune done on the car, final numbers were 400 hp and 403 torque to the rear wheels. Im extremely happy with it and the guys at NICKEY do top notch work!

Nice... but the hp numbers seem to be a bit low.
If I remember, I had a set like your a few years back and had 410/ 415. Im not knocking Nickey........just my 2 cents. So how long have you had the car, was it new when you picked it up?

Thanks! i got the car in February of 2014, bought it used with about 14000 miles on it. im happy with the HP numbers for now, i know some guys have seen higher but could be a difference in dyno setup or conditions.

Parts are starting to arrive
Started ordering parts the other day for this winters build portion. Plan is to go with a solid suspension package pieced together by me and my friends over at NICKEY to give me a solid base to start adding power to in the future.
I had some BMR upper control arm bushings laying around from when i ordered trailing arm bushings and ordered the wrong part last year. so figured rather than return them might as well install them. Other is a PHASTEK scoop and washer bottle relocation, not sure if ill install the relocation since I don't really ever use the washer fluid. The car is really only driven in nice weather.
