Imo, you'd be better off with a camaro LFX v6 or LS v8 swap for the amount of money to be spent for that 400+ hp goal. Long term, build up the heads for high rpm abuse and you'll have a reliable track v8.

There's probably a dozen guys I could name off that are over 300 but only a couple over 400 because the transmission options would never hold the power until now. So there was no real point. The real struggle was always to make something last on the track. Durability in that environment is difficult to master.

I'm not a big fan of the LS coils either. I've seen them misfire at rich mixtures (10.7-10.9) whereas as other coils did fine (including the stock ones). Maybe a bad batch, I don't know. The VAG R8 coils are know to work well up to 300hp per cylinder but are unreliable (and extremely cheap to replace). The S2000/K20 coils work up to 350hp per cylinder and are extremely reliable. They also don't require an ignition lead.

Quaife won't hold up. Ask Deerhunter, BBundy and a few others. Like I said, there have not been any good transmission options until the BMW swap that just came out. The problem has never been coming up with the power out of the engine. It just has never been fruitful to go up past about 300-350 depending upon whether or not you're trying to make it survive on the street or the track.

One of our guys here is running 45 or 50 lb of boost currently with a Ford transmission.

I'm here to improve the community with new ideas. If a little sarcasm isn't tolerated then maybe the website should be changed to something a little more feminine/sensitive. What's the status of your car these days 18psi?

The only questions I've asked are:

1) Where do you guys place the ECU/fusebox for standalones? No answer 99% of the builds here use PNPs. So.... oem locations.
2) What coilpacks do you run? Ones that are comparable to the one's I'm running but not as clean(IMO) Ones that work and have support. LS coils, 1gn-1a, toyota cops
3) Is there existence of a Miata with FSI coils that's had coil misfire/failure? No answer Nobody uses those, even though they're the best ever
4) Why do quaife gear sets fail? Broken gear teeth Because they're not strong enough/

So 2/4 for you guys.

It would be nice to be in a place where I could learn something when I get this car running and vice versa. I have no doubt I'll figure it out either way but I was just hoping I could catch a break on the negative reps so I can hang out for a little.

18psi you think you can take a break from the negetive reps? Anything you'd like me to do for you to stop?
