UPDATE: well she pulls hard as hell, its street tuned at 16lbs of boost , she can take more but my tuner says the 3"exhaust is holding back a lot and i need a bigger BOV, the car starts spooling hard around 2900 rpm range

he says as of now enjoy it because it should be pulling some mid 400's whp, but the sight that my motor isnt pinned scares him, he wanted to tune it between 18-22lbs around 500whp range but he doesnt want the motor to blow , neither do I

so we are talking about our new little project with the kid 7 yes 13bre-gt47 i say again 47


i will be posting a good video and pics soon

thanks guys well its come along way and deep pockets too, the car pulls crazy hard..

i have a couple more things to do to it but as of now i am more than happy because its been a while since i last drove it

i am replacing the master and clutch slave cylinder for new ones tomorrow , then i will be getting a new starter... etc... for the last 3 months its been my daily driver and i love it yeah i was getting horrible gas milage but the pure sight of me been behind the wheel is worth it again please stay tuned for upcoming pics of the standalone set up, engine, and fuel set up

oh and the exterior got a little touch up too with some work wheels

untill next time keep em spinning

actually you can splice the old harness and "dig" out out of the OEM. thats what i did. still have your harness?
it took me all but 20 minutes from cutting the tape to plugging it back in. if you left the plug for it under the dash your set! UNLESS your hell bent on doing the relay....just sayin....
