Looks good man. I was going to grab a vortec but the X-men changed my mind. Let us know how it feels once you get everything finished.

im driving it now , just not going to take it over 9 psi till intercooler gets here , im running methanol right now , works really well , ait drops to about 110 , cruising ait around 130
once i get intercooler , i'll data log , and get a more aggressive tune , oh and congrats on the x ! i almost had one , but the deal fell through

I want to know what it sounds like. Can you post some sound clips when you get your intercooler?

You need to go dual exhaust ASAP son.
That Vortech ain't gonna like the restrictions...

Anyway, congrats.

i thought the same , Justin a VMP tuning said he saw no difference on the dyno , he did the before and after . he was saying the restriction was some where else ....maybe the cats , but i still want it for the look and sound
