The car definitely pulls but more tuning will help things out. My car felt very slow on the way home tonight >:(

a car that makes power in very similar places as yours does and its lameish to drive.

Looks like one of the guys got my last pull on camera! Car didn't overheat, just leaking coolant out of the cap, and out of the the thermostat housing where the RTV didn't seal apparently. New cap and REAL gasket are now on the car!

any reason you switched from the FFWD to the HKS? bolt on 50 trims are lame shoulda went tubular and T3. car looks good though i love black 1ga's

Re: Dyno Results from Yesterday
 

Long story short, I was very dissapointed with how they treated me when I had an issue, and that just made me want to sell anything of theirs I had, and get something else. Also they didn't seem to perform up top like I had expected. So I just sold them, and got some tried and true HKS 272's. The FFWD cams were regrinds that were supposedly replicas of the HKS 272's, but when I put in the real HKS's, there was an apparent butt dyno difference, and the idle sounded a bit more lopey with the HKS's.

As for the turbo. I agree that a T3 is a better route to take when starting to make bigger power. But I'm still happy with this turbo so far. I went with a mitsu bolt on 50trim for ease of use, and because I didn't have the money to spend on a T3 manifold and external gate 3 years ago when I bought it. So it was a good option for me at the time. I am actually getting a new turbo setup here shortly though, but will probably wait to put it on until next year because I'd really like to max this setup out as much as I can before I upgrade. Plus I don't want to screw with the car much after it's running well. I want to enjoy it this season, not waste the summer away with it sitting on jack stands. The new turbo I'll be running is a T3 actually, an SC61 that is at Forced Performance right now being rebuilt.

And the car isn't black, it's black cherry. :P

Re: Dyno Results from Yesterday
 

my buddy is about to order the DKS272's so hopefully they perform decent, he talked to some guy at FFWD and said he was very nice and helpful.. he made 349 AWHP @ 23psi on a 2g elipse with a bone stock 6 bolt and a T3 50 trim and an AFC. hopefully 400 with the cams and maybe some more boost. you run the car at the track yet?

and black....black cherry. ---- it it looks black on my screen :6

Darren was great when I started talking to him. Fast responces, seemed helpful. It was how he handled my issue that I didn't like.

As for performance, I was the only one up here that I know of running his cams, and I didn't have them on for very long. But my first tune on them sure didn't show much for gains. For the price now a days, you should have your friend check out the Brian Crower cams. They are pretty cheap. There's one local guy putting down 700hp with the Brian Crower 280's. Just another option. Otherwise I hope he has success with the DKS ones, I just didn't give them much of a chance.

And no I haven't ran it at the track yet, but when I do, I'll post up the times.
