You have the stock head gasket on that thing? If you try running 15 psi with the stock gasket it will be toast in seconds. I too am planning a serious mod for my car, I'm hoping for 400 hp on the low side and 500 hp on the high side. 30+ psi, I'm getting a copper head gasket.

On this setup we have a way to fully control timing, and fuel, along with other things like launch control, datalogging etc.
What is your setup going to be, if you dont mind me asking?

Looks like im not the only one getting a copper head
thats true, I'm getting a new gasket cause another guy on this site blew his gasket at 22 or 24 psi, so I'd be WAY over that limit. Plus I'm getting forged pistons so I need to take the head off anyway.

well part of my project is in the open lol hey forced fab...I hope u didnt think i was trying to start **** with you...thats not how i am. Im a car enthusiast like yourself...if its fast and nice i give you props...but, you must understand that "uncle ben flyby's" WILL **** people off... BTW feel free to post pics and a write up of your car...im intrested to see it.

Here's another car we should be finishing up early next week it's an Altima SE-R
I'm thinking JE, the Diamond piston are only 10:1 comp. and running 35 psi with 10:1 is stupid for the street. I want to get a set of forged thats 9:1, I think JE has 9:1 but im not sure on that.
nice...I think ill wind up going cat-less eventually..I knew someone back in MI that blew out chunks of his cat, running a 2.5 pulley, 60lb injectors w/tuning lol. Too much power and BOOM! ever run @ the track??

I'm getting the clear image auto header (3" collector), and running straight 3" all the way back with a magnaflow muffler.

Yes but that will be later on down the road..I plan on buying a snout from intense, then keep my 2.5 on that. This way i wont have to switch pulleys.I hate doing that it's a BITCH! Just switch the snouts. Once i get my exhaust kit..i will be catless yes. As for the 60lb injectors..ill be getting that with my 2.5 and swap out the 42.5's. i want to have both setups so i can switch between the 2...and the HP tuning will allow me to do this easily
I Must however, get a stage 3 clutch b4 i can even consider putting in the 60's or 2.5 lol Can't you hear the $ burning a hole in my pocket
