at 18-20 lbs I hope to hit high 12's. DSMlink is on the way, t-28, a diff fmic, o2 dump, exhaust, tranny, act 2600, are already installed.

The guy also has stock fuel with rc 550's in getting ready to put stock injectors back in, and he had the mbc hooked up backwards.

I have about 3k extra to spend after ordering dsmlink. Buying the laptop for 300 today so 2700 to play with.

Also I will probably be doing the fuel line in push lock hose instead of braided.

Can I get past with a stock return line?

was going to use this kit for the fpr, gauge, and from the rail to the return and rail to fpr.

I also might go from the t28 to a sbr g57 or something similar.

If you have the cash go with a FP turbo. Very nice. I would think about buying a meth injection kit so you can run over 20psi on what ever turbo you get.

So that's what i've been doing wrong all these years. ...Since when do you need a meth inj kit to run over 20psi? WTF

I run over 20 PSI without a meth kit. I run 25PSI on race fuel 110 octane. I think definetly upgrade to larger fuel lines. Good luck with your upgrades.

I was mainly talking about the t28 turbo with meth and no FMIC for now. Then if he does upgrade the turbo he could still run good boost without a FMIC I should have been more clear.

Car has a fmic on it know. I just don't like how its setup and am ordering the xspower kit through 95talonawd on the board.

The shep stage 2 trans and act2600 drive nice. But the clutch is very odd. I adjusted everything today and it still doesnt wan't to work like I wish. I backed the rod out so far it fell out, I then spent the next hour and a half upside down re-threading the bolt and the c-clip. Pain in the ass.

The car grinds going into reverse everytime almost.

I turn the car off, turn it on in reverse with the pedal in. It still catches and goes backward's. only gear it does it in. Very very odd. I've adjusted the pedal as much as I could and re-installed it all. I was thinking about an extended slave rod but I searched and found many against the idea.

I believe the next step is changing the transmission fluid.

Turbo cost. I would want to spend around 7-900 on a turbo. Thats what I should have to play with. The t-28 has a 90 degree elbow on it facing the passenger side and the xspower fmic wont like that. Might be waiting to put that on.

I can not for the love of god find pennzoil syncromesh locally. Checked all 4 parts stores grrr.

Also, I was told the car had a walbro 255. It doesn't make the whining sound like every other car, how do I check to see if its an aftermarket pump without actually cracking anything open, if possible.
