i could be wrong, i thought it was 12.49 when you needed all that extra crap? In anycase im only looking at 5 psi to start, so i dont hurt my motor anymore than i already have, and im going to be running a road track kind of suspension, not really a drag one, so i expect my 60s to stay at or around 2.0 even with stickies. I could be wrong who knows, but i like to race at the weight i drive on the street that means the big heavy fr500s are staying on and probebly a full tank of gas and what not. 12.5 is a goal if i do better Great!!

Please dont Pay 1k for a Shop to do the work..... Buy a Used one for $100 and some cops from Ebay for $100 and Pay someone 100 to do it. It would take less than an hour.. Thats with beer and Pizza Involved!! Good Luck!!

You need a roll bar installed if you are going 11.49 or quicker. Then the next deal would be cage at 10.99 I'm pretty sure. I don't have my camaro going quicker than 11.49 just so I don't need a roll bar.

Don't pay a shop for your intake swap!! $1000 is ridiculous when you can buy the parts for $200.
Mine cracked and I replaced it in my driveway over the weekend. I spent 1/2 on saturday and 1/2 on sunday...so it can be done in a full day for sure. Get someone to lend you a hand. It is very rewarding afterwards to know that you did it yourself AND saved $800.
