As everyone has said, CONGRATULATIONS, Matt! This is awesome stuff! And I'm happy for you!

And I don't want to get off topic, but thank you for that throttle body! I really appreciate!! Really.

The 68HTA's would tear me up anyway

Congrats on the killer pass! Your car must be making some really nice power with that weight/ET/MPH.

Don't sell yourself short! I'm sure 11.2 will hold up pretty well in that class!

I'm eager to throw my E3 16g on after seeing how well they run, but, not yet. Trap speeds in the 120's is nice....

My vote is you go for 10's, forget a bigger turbo, get a 4 bolt, that will give you the confidence you need to extract all your car has to offer you.....

Thanks for the support! I'd like to mention it again, awesome 14b time! I will see how things pan out, I have a 4 bolt available but I'm waiting until my friend goes auto first.

what kind of timing are you running in load rows 11 and 12? seems awfully fast for only 20-22lbs. I would love a trans that I could shift quickly. what do you have done as far as weight reduction? Im right at 3278 with me in it. car alone 3100 lbs, half tank, CAT certified. also what kind of intake is that? it looks very nice.

Timing is a peak of 21 degrees at 7k, and something like 15* at 4k gaining a degree every 500 rpm. Stock 7.8:1 compression. Huge thanks to Tim for the trans!

Homemade front bumper support, no rear one, no ac, converted to non abs, rear wiper gone, misc rear brackets and seat belt assemblies gone etc. Otherwise full interior down to the rear seats and hatch cover.

Intake is just pieced together pieces of 90* 4" aluminum piping(can get at advance auto here) coupled to a dejon 2g mas style pipe.

As everyone has said, CONGRATULATIONS, Matt! This is awesome stuff! And I'm happy for you!

And I don't want to get off topic, but thank you for that throttle body! I really appreciate!! Really.

I thought I recognized the screen name but couldn't quite place it! Glad I could help you out, it was just laying in my garage anyway. I'll have to check out your progress if I'm out by Tim's sometime if you don't mind.

I was wondering if you were going to remember, but I figured since we've talked a few times, you would.

Sure thing! You're more than welcome to check it out with me. That'd be awesome. I always love talking DSM's with other owners because I learn so much, every time!

I gotta tell ya, too, the progress on my car has been stagnant since last summer. It's pretty sad, really. I'm going to see what I can get done this summer before I move in August.

And there's just one catch. The car is stored in my hometown, 45 minutes from where I live. So if you want to take a road trip, I'm down.

Or, if it's more convenient for you, I could find you on facebook and send you a friend request. I have just about all the pictures of the work I've done in one of my albums - minus all the aftermarket goodies that I've stockpiled over the last two years.

Let me know through here or on WIDSM.

Thanks man!
