Heh there's nothing magical about it, one bolt at a time, check torque specs and take your time. I got a ton done today but I still feel frustrated with the amount of work left to go. Just a tough spot to stop, I wish I was further along. One step at a time I guess :D

I know the feeling dude. The only thing I could do was every time I would get frustrated I would sit and think about being stranded in a car because I fucked something up while it being -20 outside and how pissed off I would be at myself.

LOL stock frame turbo, ported head, making good power for what you got--a 2.0 4cyl....yes you definitely paved the way on that one ;)

Still you have a good setup and going with proven parts/combos really is all I ever want to do. Def first hand data taken to heart and if I can get anywhere near your 460whp @32psi (or maybe 400 on just pump?) I'll be a happy happy guy.

I was more so joking about the DB ported head deal ;) I don't pretend to be an innovator in the sport compact world, lol

460whp on @32psi??? You hinting at your fuel being different now?? ;) Or just if you run race fuel or something.

Hah I was just ribbing you a little, I know what you were talking about :)

And no I was trying to say (with alky or e85) if my car hit anywhere near 460 at around 30psi I'll be very happy. We'll see what she does on pump gas though, cause that's all I'll be able to run for a while. Need to quit spending money, but an undertray sure would be nice to protect this thing while ripping through snow banks this winter :D

I'm not sure what Shane was running for timing on my car but it certainly sounds do-able. I can't really complain about the BBX.

I saw your post discussing fasteners. I'm debating what I'm going to do since I already own the APR splitter. I might ditch it for an undertray and a non-Aero splitter. I'm not going to make a decision until Spring. I'll see what you end up with. :)
