I suggest get rid of tubular manifold u got now. for a good cast one. Or atleast a real good tubular set. They will crack trust i've gone thru 3 of them just cuz i had em lol.
from what word on the street is dnp are the best ones you can get, as long as there braced good and a thick schedule pipe you should be okay but ask around and youll get a 50/50 response of likes and dislikes
Thats what i tought untill 13psi on a greddy 18g blew the shit out of it...Replaced it with a fully ported 2g cast mani. Not only does it look better more stockyish, and better duration...The only good tubular ones are the one made by like AMS that one other compnay i ccant reccall the name of but one set of there tubular run u over 2k..

no motivation :o :prayer: :butthead: :axe:


actually the car starts and idles..need to set timing..idle and wire the fan in to let it run for more than 4 min...then a few other small things and its off the the exhaust shop.. then off to get the IC piping done.

took me 4 days from date of purchase to get up the morivation to spend 8 minutes to put in a new t-stat in my car...

it is.. as of today got 77 miles on it.. looking at the logs I did today looks like the knock sensor is shot..sitting at idle it will get a few counts..and cruising at steady speed..rpm/tps steady its geta about 8-12 seconds of constant 38-43 counts..so need to replace that tomorrow.
