You planning on doing anymore power mods?
Yeah they're pretty tough to find locally, especially at reasonable prices. Seems like everyone's asking a good $8-10k more than national listings. Mine was local, but I found it on the national forum so he knew what the real market value was.

As for power, I still have a ported intake mani/throttle body to throw on and that should hopefully put me at 440whp/420wtq. My next step would be ported heads but I'm not in much rush to get that done. I still want to get coilovers and start working on other areas of the car - it's getting close though.

Yeah I totally hear you. I got mine right after buying a house and wouldn't have done it any other way. Yeah hopefully the market comes down a bit after the C7 release. I'll be keeping an eye on that for sure.
