so, i think thats everything, running on no sleep so im probably missing a few things. any and all help is appreciated Any Clue on the WHP this could potentially put out? thanks everyone. Ill continue to read the forums when I get more time.
 
I'd drop to a 50 trim for better response and the ebay FMIC are good and a fraction of the price. The only other thing would be tunability. The money you would save from going ebay fmic and no afc neo would be enough for dsmlink. Tunability is key. That just my .02;)
 
Guessing power output is bench racing, and prohibited on this site. But guys who have their ass on the line get a pass.

Thank you for your service. We'll do what we can from here to support you.
 
Alright, sorry about the bench racing.
so for the most part it looks like my set up will work fine? as far as teh 50 trim is im not looking is off the line pull, i need something to help pull me out of the corners. Gotta go, Raid time. hooah! Thanks for the help, any more is appreciated

oh, and off topic but, is there anyone in the CO springs/Ft Carson area?? I want to find some reputible tuning shops and find events in the area. Thanks again

Your plan for fuel sounds good. With those 680s you should be able to run 20-21 psi easily. If you are going to do rallies or road race the 50trimBB PTE could be a nice choice. Nothing like being spooled through your turns for a quicker shootout onto the straightaways.

*my 2 cents*

--Stay safe out there. I don't know if you get to go outside the wire (hope not). I've been deployed several times over there. I'm active duty Air Force though, so we definitely rarely ever go outside the wire.--
 
Rock on, one team one fight. Im a Combat Engineer doing Route Clearance..we drive around searching for IEDs, we have a couple EOD guys attatched but most of the time when we find IEDs we just blow them in place... god I love being an Engineer. haha, Glad you made it back, ive still got a while so well see how things go. Thanks again for all the support and God bless America.

sorry for getting off topic with this post. LOL.

anyone else have any 2 cents for me? thanks to everyone
 
Pm 2gwdtalon on here. He supplies 2g fmic kits for a very good price. With the extra money buy gaskets, bolts, oil feed and return line and odds and ends that you are going to need when installing.
