well I'd trust zzp over hahn so good choice there. How much power you need?! haha I want to race road course stuff so big power isnt needed. I used to be into that but it ends up costing a lot :P I still really want a lsj with a tvs on it...I love that wine...or a mustang with a KB sc on it..that would work too

Its not about the power man im not shooting for 400whp now. Ive realized alot of things the past few days and i need to act on them, this being one. That wine is pretty nice to hear because its easy to show off. I just want a 350whp reliable DD car and i can have that easy on this setup with e85. Ive put way too much money and time into this car to just let it go to waste it needs to be driven and i need to enjoy it, the procharger isn't the reliable method at this point in time.

Yep. 255lph, pump rewire. 79lb injectors and boost reference system will be plenty to make atleast 400whp on e85

It would be nice, but is it really worth it for the cost?

yeah idk...Most likely I just put my car a big diet and try to get her around 300hp & tq.

I just want something fun to drive on the track and in the back roads...and that is pretty reliable.

If only I could afford to get my Cobalt up to 200WHP and TQ...I'd be pretty happy for a while. Once I find a part-time job and get all the bills taken care of along with my car paid off...finish off the suspension and minor performance stuff, then save for my Sky RL or Solstice GXP.

You can never have enough power to a point. Its just getting all the money together and thinking about the economic/reliability of the idea, then putting it all together. Make it basic and simple even if it costs more, its well worth the price. I'm just learning the hard way is all.

Helen let me borrow her humidifier and I took ibprofine and slept for 4 hours... I feel way better now. I think it was the dry ass air that killed my respiratory system.

Jeff you should sell stuff for me, you always have sexy pics

Maybe I should pick them up and throw them on my stock struts/shocks for winter. Don't really care for my Sportlines anymore either...wish I could affor something that handled better like Pedders. I don't have money though.

One thing I need for this summer is 225/40 18's for my MSR 045's....anybody know where I can find some decent used or new tires for $300 or less for a set?
