Hello everybody...

I have a question...I have been contemplating on spraying on my car for a long time....

I wanted to know what you guys think is best for me to use on my car...I have a 95 GST with 87K on it...

Goals are as following....mid to low 12's daily driver..The lower the better...

Do you think I should spray or would it be a waste?? Also I have NO clue whatso ever about NOS.....

My mods are as following...

-ETE32 turbo
-550's Injectors
-B&M FPR and gauge
-Walbro 255LPH HP
-N1 Full turbo back exhaust
-2.5" o2 Housing with atmos dump
-Greddy big FMIC with full piping
-Type S bov
-ACT 2100
-Poly Motor mounts
-NGK plugs and wires
-SAFC
-Boost, AF and EGT

On order....Metal Head Gasket...

That's basically it for things that really matter....everything else either cosmetics or nonsense...

Thank you very much...

Appreciate it...

I'm out...
 
Don't spray your car. First off, you should be able to attain your goal with the setup you have now, second, with an AFC, you don't have enough tunability to introduce nitrous into the equation witout blowing your bottom end apart. Just get yourself to your goal on turbo alone, and think about upgrading the internals later down the road. If you are switching to a metal head gasket, you are going to need to get the block and head decked anyway, so you are looking at a big job. I suggest you use a new stock, or felpro gasket, and upgrade to 90 rods on your 95 pistons. Then you can make more power safely. Just my $.02

You dont need to get your head and block decked but it would be a good idea. when i checked my deck clearance it wasnt even worth being decked it was at .007 on the highest spot. Also you can always make up for the lost compression from the thicker headgasket by turning up the boost.
 
In my personal experience, the metal headgasket will not seal well without a fresh deck on the head and block surface. I'm not talking about getting it decked for compression reasons, but rather for the fact that it gives you a nice smooth seal for the gasket. A lot of people will say they had no problems with their metal gaskets and non-decked blocks, but I also used nitrous and made about 125-150 more wheel HP than they did, so I pushed the envelope a bit more.
