lol i laugh when i hear u talk about all this parts that cost a ton of money like u are just changing honda sparkplugs. rofl :) keep going.

The real secret is to keep your shit clean and in perfect condition so you can sell it off. There's no way I would have ever changed any of my set-ups if I hadn't recouped something from every set-up I've had. Every single one of them was sold before I pulled the trigger on something new...:idea:

Is the new set-up costing me money - absolutely. But probably less than you think...:beerdrink:

I'm so excited to have a watercooled TT set-up. I don't know if I'll hit the 1200 goal on the stock computer but I'm going to try. The power is up to it, but anything over a grand is extremely tricky on the computer. We are hoping to make it to the next track rental and so far it looks good as we should be done in 4-5 weeks.

Nice to know that I'm spreading the dreaded "Twins" disease throughout the board. :evil:

Truth be told, I have always known a watercooled TT set-up would be balls best but nobody has ever made or offered a kit.

If the whipple hadn't taken a crap, I would not have changed. Just circumstances happened, and I figured it was just meant to be...:beerdrink:

I've decided for now to hold off on the manual rack and aerospace brakes. I can always add them later, and I'm really trying to allow this thing to remain a 'street' car - so I am keeping the factory power steering/brakes/rack for now and see what happens.

I'm going to stick with the #72's for now. I'm pretty confident with them but if they run out, I may switch to the new #80's.

Greg was able to break a 1000 on his car with the 72's and didn't lean out so I think I will be okay but I'll wait and see. The return system helps a bunch...:beerdrink:

LMAO - again, I don't know where this illusion comes form that I randomly change set-ups at will...:wtf:

Every set-up I have had I have pushed to the limit until it broke. EVERY ONE - without exception. Had the whipple blower not took a dump - it would still be on the car.

Having said that. I had already pretty much taken the whipple as far as it could go. I was running nitrous on top of it - so I don't know how much more I could 'dial it in'. Yes, I could have gotten it a little faster, but there wasn't too much more to be had on that set-up unless I jut wanted to break it with a stupid 200-300 shot or something.

Granted, the blower breaking was a fluke, but it was the excuse I needed to try the thing I have wanted to do for 2 years but didn't have anyone to help me do it. I look at it like fate and meant to be. I hooked up with Greg and the blower took a shit - and now I'm going to have the set-up I think is the absolute best. There won't be anymore set-ups to try. Nothing is going to outperform this one...:beerdrink:
