Drag manifolds crack (have seen this quite often). Max-Rev manifolds don't and Max-Rev kits come with a lifetime warranty on manifold and downpipe.

well i dont believe that over 100hp to the wheels bs. those companies pump up the actual gains so much its hard to tell if its true or not. but that is definitely not true. there is no way that kit on your car would produce over 100 extra hp at the wheels and still make more then a few dyno runs without blowing. id put money on that.

if you keep your boost that low and dont get too happy with it it will last you a long time. you can only use the highest octane pump gas available. im in cali so its 91 here which is crap but anyways. and also tune ups. i dont like people referring to repairs as tune ups. what does tune up refer to? what does it include? basically when you do that setup just keep up with the oil changes, filter changes, coolant, and everything else just like you would if you wanted your engine to run at its best. im not positive on your 1/4 times but it should be in the 13's.

Tune up is in the ignition. Spark plugs, check coil, wires, cap+rotor, etc. Oh and air filter is sometimes included but not always. Oil change is usually not included, therefore you have to say you need a tune up and oil change. Changing the oil filter usually does go along with oil change though.

lower compression pistons, turbo timer, and constant checkup of your car will make sure everything last. turbo timer is a simple device that lets your car idle for a few minute after you take the key out. why? after driving around your turbo need to cool down. When you shut the car off the oil pump stops pumping to your turbo. And for all you automatics out there you might want to invest in something like a msd btm. Unlike manual transmissions automatic's do not have control of there rpm. Over reving your stock internal will wear down things alot faster. quick fix will be to buy a rev control ,forged rods, or atleast get it peen shot and polish. MSD also have a 6 BTM which have a rev control, retard timing conrol, and gives a high discharge for preventing dentonation. don't try to cut coners whenyou invest so much into your engine. if your gonna do it. do it right.
