Well, looks like the pics are down for some reason, I think fordcontour.org is down since thats where im hosting the pics...GRRRR!

Im guessing this wont be near completion until about December. As for what numbers I expect to put down, im not sure. I certainly think 450 crank hp is certainly acceivable on 18 psi.

As for tuning, I might make a road trip out to Arizona and have Street Flight tune it for me.

It is a 63 exhaust trim, and at 380 fwhp, 42lb injectors would be at an 80% duty cycle.

Roger, yes im still thinking about changing the color of my car. Right now, im leaning towards the Velocity Red Mica they are using on the RX-8. But it wont be until next year until i get it repainted, and who knows, maybe ill find another color i like better by then.

Tom, I believe im using the same size intercooler core as you. The spearco part # is 2-200 and measures 6" long x 4" wide x 3.75" tall. I still havent received it yet though. Im still have to get the turbo in the car so I can give Street Flight the dimensions of how the turbo sits, so they can weld it up properly.

Ill be sure to keep you guys updated.
