Fly you from ft collins to castle rock?

I guess I could if I rented a 172.

man, the greddy + emanage + jimb pipes are CAKE compared to this install, but it's done. My tuner is coming over tomorrow or saturday to do a little road tuning then we'll dyno tune her. Assuming it all works :noes:

I'll post pics later. The engine bay is very messy ATM.

about 38 miles to the north. I'm smack in the middle between the springs and denver. Let me know, aside from a wonky work schedule I'll be around.

My buddy has a magnuson charged goat (roots type blower) and thinks this one is faster.

the monaro front end is much nicer. I might convert mine over to the monaro lights and bumper.

Sounds like a cue to start saving for that cobra rear. :eek5:
Talk about a tight fit- but very clean install. The average joe would never know it was there... "uh yeah... that's my a/c compressor" ;)

it's fucking scary when you hit 5k RPM and it just keeps pulling harder and harder.

yep, but I can go smaller still.

on the way home some little ricer in a civic Si took the bait. We absolutely crushed him... after I got done spinning the tires for 2 seconds :rofl:

Philip 06-16-2006 03:37 PM
it's actually not too bad, big tires, heavy car.
With drag slicks I should think it could run a solid 12's time though.
