that grand am tho must kick some butt with that supercharger on there, I wonder what kind of oil hes using in it.... thats a lot of work for a grand am and money to just get 285whp on 5psi....

With a scion tc, slap on a 8psi turbo and have it be daily driven with the same amount of power with much room to upgrade.

Those scion guys have been getting crazy building up the bottom end of the 2.4L ... I think I saw one boosted up to 22psi ? and made over 500whp I believe, with all these outstanding results from just a boosted application I might have to re-think my car strat lol... been putting it all together AND tax season is here, with the extension of my job, I could be good to go for a down payment in a month or two

Yeah its kinda strange realy, he's making that with stage 3 heads and the SC, thats only 61hp more then me @ o boost.
It usualy breaks down to about 1 psi =10hp so he's not far off. The motor is definatly ready for some hella HP tho.
And he has spent a small fortune.

I noticed MMS stage 2 kit, you get alot of bang for your buck! If you bought everything seperatly it would be twice as much.

That's where I saved, I did all the engine, heads, LI myself.
I realy need to pull my motor and do the bottom end IDK....

Dont forget your other tax check from GWB2!

Huummmm... that might just cover new pistons , rods, a crank and bearings, thankx GWB2 !! opcorn:

GWB2?

if you're talking taxes, then im in the same boat!

Cant wait till I get all my W2 stuff coming in, even though its just going to be saved lol. It's still nice to sit slightly higher than you were before

I'm looking forward to having my taxes done. I'm waiting on my tax statements from my banks for my interest. I also wouldn't mind that extra check that they are talking about! Last night I met with my former manager... unfortunetly no job offer as of yet... . I'm not sure what to do at the moment. Oh well. This weekend is a plus my girl is coming in! I'm looking forward to that at least.

[Gir-_-]

ahh yea, bush's plan for the tax stuff... cant wait. I was speaking with my mother about it and such, I heard I might be getting like $600 more or something of that sort, no idea but we'll see

btw, guess ill address this now.. that engine code lead to nothing lol, fuel tank was just fine, pump secure, everything all good... I did pinpoint the noise though... my exhaust is now sagging and laying on my rear sway bar what gives!

I dont feel like buying a new exhaust yet, and not a over priced borla

[xeroinfinity]

Your exhaust might have came loose from a hanger in the rear or up above the axle area...

CHeck this out.... WTF is up with California .. ??

Thats insane~!!!
