Re: Brad's 5th DSM...
Ugh, 400whp dyno dynamics...I'm sorry man....my X was listed as '450hp' on autotrader when I got it....stock + catback + mbc  pretty sweet!
That being said the car looks fantastic and nearly 300whp is def in the 'fun zone' that's for sure! Enjoy it sir!

Thanks for the kind words Chris!

Re: Brad's 5th DSM...
how is it only making that much power? Is it healthy? Compression checked? Or maybe that is expected power... I could be way off.

Re: Brad's 5th DSM...
I don't know, Shane said it seems about average for the mods it. I haven't done a compression test on it but it seems healthy.
E85 and more boost should help wake it up

Re: Brad's 5th DSM...
Haha thanks! Half the fun is looking for new cars and trying to find deals and talking people down. I still have to see that evo of yours one of these dasy.
Just figured out I saved almost 20lbs of rotating mass today by picking up the rpf1's vs the evo8 wheels  Also ordered a tactrix 2.0 cable and made an appointment to get my crappy tint taken off and have it re-tinted.
Going to try and wash it tomorrow and put e85 in it tomorrow if my computer would stop being stupid with evoscan. It says it connects then stalls out everytime.

Re: Brad's 5th DSM...
Is this what people are talking about when they say they put a 6 bolt in a 2g??
But really, I picked up a 6 bolt block/head for a good deal today and already pulled the pan and crank/block look good. Plan at the moment for this motor is to just throw some eagle rods and whatever pistons I can get a good deal on in it. Then have the head looked at it and fix anything that might be needed
Also bought some silver rpf1's on craigslist last week as well. I kind of like the silver but can't decide if I should paint them black. What do you guys think?

Re: Brad's 5th DSM...
Maybe I can have Powder Keg do a rainbow theme...
I like the silver too, but I think a gunmetal/black would look kind of cool as well. Evo8 wheels looked nice but one tire was newer than the other three and these were a basicly brand new wheel/tire setup for the price just the wheels cost without shipping. Plus I saved almost 20lbs of rotational mass
