You mean full on ricers with rear wings higher than the roof and neon underglow kits and roof scoops and 2 sets of foglights and aero-spaceship bodykits are not going to be considered for ROTM?

BTW, very nicely put together car. I would only add a HUGE spoiler if it were mine.

I'm a regular @ Coastal Empire, that's under Buccaneer region right

I guess I'll see you on Oct. 19th @ Roebling Rd. then. A lot of folks from JAX are coming up to play.

At first glance I liked it, when I saw the KA in the bay I loved it. Good job.

Nice to see a fellow Floridian representing with a clean KA-T Kouki

Any dyno #'s?

Also, what made you go with the blue for the engine accent? Or was it to match the Cusco STB?

Ever have any issues with the Ground Zero manifold? I have been using it for a little over a year but didn't ceramic coat it, just swain coated my turbine housing.

I did 345 wheel on the my last dyno run. Here is the graph sorry it is so light.



I don’t know why the blue. It has always been my favorite color though I have been told it is ricey .

I like the Ground Zero mani. I picked up about 500rpm of spool when switching from the old boost designs mani. I cut the 38mm waste gate flange off the GZ manifold and ran a larger pipe and a 44mm waste gate flange and with this setup I see no creep whatsoever. With the 38mm waste gate I saw a few psi of boost creep.

Get a little boost creep on my setup. BB Precision SC50 on the GZ mani with 38mm WG with a dump tube extending under the driver seat. Dyno'd 337rwhp with 302tq at 13psi but I'm sure I could pull better numbers without a simple JWT ECU, SAFCII setup without a boost controller. Stock internals running off the WG spring basically.

How many pounds of boost to make those numbers? I'll PM you a pic of my ride.

Not sure if this was in jest, but I would. Not HUGE, mind you, but something. I think the car's lines demand it, and he tracks the car. So unless it jeopardizes SM classing, doo eet!
