haha thanks

I just need to see what happens with your HFC install/header install. I would've done it already, but oil cooler had to be done asap. I am so glad its over hehe. After a few days and some hard driving, everything seems to be holding up ok...I think Im safe. (knock on wood).

Can't wait to do everything else, exhaust sounds good, but I want a little bit more db to it.

I suspect the headers will add to the sound but not HP... I'm told the stock exhaust manifold is plenty free flowing and nearly already equal length... def look forward to comparing once a few of us have it installed

FYI... dropped the car off with my mech yesterday... may have back by weekend

I'm likely to purchase a data acquisition system with camera... here's what I'm looking at:

1) SmartyCam from Aim Sports... announced, but not yet released... no price yet
http://www.smartycam.com/index_eng.htm

2) TraqMate complete + Chase Cam... ~$2K package... seamless data / video + simple onboard display
Traqmate.com GPS Data Acquisition
Racer Kit, Single Camera Package | ChaseCam

I'll buy through Sharif if I go with option 2

Input on these would be welcomed!

UPDATE: JUST ORDERED OPTION B THROUGH SHARIF... WILL TRY TO INSTALL FIRST WEEK OF MAY

Good for a baseline run... I'd have been not pleased if it were lower than my first motor at 270!... different dyno, different day, but still !

UPDATED: APPARENTLY, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT WEIGHT SETTINGS FOR THE CAR... RE-RAN THREE TIMES, CAME IN BETWEEN 273 AND 275...

RCZ · 04-22-2009, 11:37 AM

Cool, what kind if dyno is it again? DJ?

travisjb · 04-22-2009, 11:23 PM

Update... Little progress on the installs today, but I've decided on wheels / tires (I THINK !)... going with old style Advan RS + Toyo R888s... here's a pic I grabbed off the photoshop thread of what it should look like

I have a few requests out for quotes, any vendors that read this are welcome to drop me a quote... 18x9, 18x10 with 29 and 25 offsets... 265 and 285 Toyos
