I'm sitting here waiting.. So I was under the impression that the resonated x pipes was touching because I have a sound like metal touching metal when I step on the gas pedal but there is a lot of space in there. So now idk what it is

You blew your engine sir, trust me I work in a dealership shop. I know what I'm talking about. Oh and it definitely won't be covered by warranty...

Hello my Sixes

So Jason has been discussing going Turbo instead of Nitrous. What is everyone's opinion?

If the funds are there then yes do it. I'd wait until hp tuners is established to make that decision but turbos are an "always armed" option that you won't have to refill.

I know, I know. It is just such a hard decision to make. Jason thinks we can easily sell the Nitrous kit. So I guess it all depends if we can sell the kit or not. He also wants to install it himself.

It could possibly be the headers. I've heard a lot of member say they hear a "metal on metal" sound after installing bbks

Then there is the fact that with Turbo you have the power always there and other things will have to swap to handle that power, but with the Nitrous it is only there some of the time.

It really depends on how much power you plan on putting out. If you want to make it sensible then it should be fine but if you want to try and get all the power you can out of it a lot of things can go wrong. Just look at Gretchen, that might be an extreme since he was pushing all the limits but you get the idea.

Install the turbo kit?

What's smog like in Vegas?

How much would you like for the kit?
