'92 E34 525... anything over 750 - 850 hp and I'll be moderately happy.

a local dyno shop tested the a1000 pump to see its true rating(they say what 1000-1200hp?) it flowed barely enough for 650. I would have ran with Product Engineering, Magna Fuel , or Weldon in no particular order seeing how you shelved the cash out anyways. Probably the most hated pump on the power tour I might add.

Either than that, ---- looks sweet.

Everyones got their opinions. I know several people making big hp on this pump.

True that, I just couldn't force myself to spend the dough on a pump that has such black/white reviews. I'll stick to dual walbro 255's. Not baller but more reliable with stronger positive results.

your steering wheel is pretty badass. How much with the shifter?

I just don't like Walbros - know too many local guys with them being loud which eventually failed. The dual walbros are as much $ as a single A1000 almost, and it just has been more proven in my immediate group of friends.

The Wheel/shifter are logitech G25 setup I think its like $250 - $300 as a kti comes with pedals with a clutch.

heres from today



The upper rad support unbolts, the lower one was cut out

Very nice. I wish I had time, money and space to be doing stuff.
