Many changes planned but for now it has:
  • TE44 turbo
  • MSD 50 lb. injectors
  • Turbo Tweak 93 octane street chip
  • RJC Power Plate
  • VDO boost gauge in pillar
  • adjustable FP regulator
  • Hotwired fuel pump
  • Fuel pressure gauge
  • 8" K&N cone filter
  • ESP coil pack
  • 160° thermostat
  • test pipe w/ cutout
  • Flowmaster exhaust
  • Scanmaster 2.1


i feel like a dumb**s, but after i hosed my engine last week, i went and had new bearings pressed on my alternator, because it was sweaking. now i removed the belt first, and turned everything the alternator sweaked.. but it ended up being the belt.. i'm embarassed, but new bearing are cheap insurance- so all isn't lost.
