The other questions I would ask is what are you wanting to do? Road coarse, mountain driving, 1/2 mile, Drag strip, or just out having fun.

What do you not want? The Supra effect where it comes on hard up top. It is either on or off?

I felt terrible I didnt notice it about to happen. I was lining up the ramps and watching the tires...CRUNCH.

Looks like first day back will be postponed until tomorrow Dad fell the other day and knockered his dome pretty good and twisted his back up. He is now having back spasms and he fell twice trying to get to the bathroom last night. Said it felt like his legs just disappeared while he was trying to walk. Hooray- never a dull moment around here.

Leingod

Sheesh. Sorry to hear. Hopefully quick recovery for the holidays.

Ah hell man, its par for the course around here.
Family vacation? Someones headed to the ER. Happy holidays greeting cards from the hospital room are common too. I had to take a job at a hospital to get the 10% discount on our services.

What I do already is mountain driving and out having fun. I'm looking to start doing more with road courses at some point in the near future.

I enjoy the car already. My 1 complaint with it is the torque curve feels relatively weak. For that reason, the idea of the BP single is incredibly appealing based on the descriptions I've read.

Before I do anything, I'll hopefully get a chance to ride in a car with a Stillen kit, and one with a BP kit. My goal is to have this wrapped up before this time next year, but I'm not actually in a rush, and I tend to read/plan extensively, with my great weakness being a lack of actual experience (I'm learning on myself, which can be an expensive lesson, since as you know from my build thread I didn't grow up doing any of this).

Also, definitely do not want something where I only get lots of power at the top of the power band. That really defeats the purpose.

While I am thinking about the subject, dont forget about soho's top mount single turbo.

JLarson

Don't worry, I included it in my Excel graph of power delivery That's also why I ruled them out. I don't like their power band at all.

That is what a single turbo is notorious for. That can be controlled by using a smaller single turbo but when it comes on, it comes on hard. A twin turbo kit is more controllable with the proper turbo sizing. I am not a supercharger person at all. The A2A Stillen modified kit has a major drawback. Air filter fitment and placement. The air filter is tiny and I do not recommend not running a filter. Just stupid. Your other options are the single turbo BP kit and the SOHO kit. For me the BP kit is out due to where the air filter is located under the car. That is just an accident waiting to happen by sucking water in the intake and hydro locking the engine. Which means bent rods or a rod snapping causing major engine damage if it is not caught in time. AAM is out due to poor design and horrible support. The way I see it you have 2 choices. SOHO's single turbo kit that is new or Fast Intentions TT kit. The RJM kit I am not going to talk about, I will just leave it at that.

Rusty

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully he get well soon.

I disagree and I’ll leave this as a place holder until I get off from work.

Thanks, Rusty. They said nothing looks broken from the fall and they are going to give him some meds to try and control the muscle spasms.
