10:1 compression. DANM is that going to run high boost? I thought i was crazy for wanting to go 9.5:1. Any one else got a comment on compression. IF not i might go 10:1 as well

it has to spool that gt42 on the street , and yes i did say STREET as it will be my DAILY DRIVER, the setup is well matched, i dont forsee any problems with it.... i ran the 9.5:1 on my talon and it spooled my t63 great!!

im also debating on color choice: go back to yellow like it used to be:

I'd definately go with silver. Also, I'm not digging how the front downtubes on the cage are layed out. They should go up alot further, follow the a-pillars down and go down through a tunnel the dash, and come out near where the dead pedal is. That would make your swing bar alot lower, and on less of an angle, almost to the point that it doesn't need to swing, can pretty well just slide over it.

I can feel that thing on the side of my knee from here. Ow.

no kidding, I wish I could find some pictures of the cages we've built. I lost prettymuch everything when my HDD went down.

The reason for the swing bar is to make it easy for me to get in and out, im having sugery on my back , and even with out a cage its hurts getting in and out.

hey JP, I'm the guy who bought the Big 16g from you a few weeks ago. Stay with the silver man, I love yellow, but the color on it now looks great. Later

 

[wkd4g63]

well, i got the color, just have to finish the sanding to paint it..... the color is from a 04 ferrari 360 modena, its called black sapphire.. like black cherry , but instead of red , theres blue in it.

longest run on sentence ever! :laugh:
