Can't to see it broken in and tuned to see how it pulls. Do you think the IAT's will be high with the stock ICP and intake tract?

Thanks man! I suppose you saw the little preview at the end, right? Regarding IATs, the factory setup does lay that pipe right on top of the exhaust manifold, but the cold side of the intercooler has remained ice cold to the touch, so it must not be too bad. The bigger issue is the restriction of these parts. I may switch them out someday for something that still looks stock.

I was expecting a little Señor Wences when you were talking to the cams ^_^ It's ok? It's alright. Close ze door!

Soooo... sure is quiet in here... Whats been up with the galant tom? I am so happy you put the 272s in. The stock cams wouldve really hurt power. Ive been on a journey of my own with 1722, its funny cause I too had a lot of the same "okay I guess thatll be okay to do and still be a sleeper" mods. I was set on keeping balance shafts when I did the engine rebuild, I was like "Im keeping balance shafts, and thats final!" Well yeah... no balance shafts when it went it It always just comes back to, because race car. I dont know if you considered this, but for intercooler piping I imagined doing 2.5" piping, painting it black, then getting the braided mesh loom and putting it over it. If done right it would look stock as hell, except to mitsubishi guys, who know its a GVR4 anyways I could see the stock piping, especially the TBE, being a big bottleneck and would be interested to see a VBOX run after its 2.5" I will gladly donate a 2G TBE towards the car. Anyways keep up the good work, hope to see this car spanking ass for 2016
