hahaha lift the flag all you want...It is 100% true..I was there first hand..It happened..many of times...I have to say these tc's are fast with boost....John's car is fast..took me buy 2 car lengths when we were both at 6 psi..I have now fully built the block and moving up to 12 psi...but he would only need 8-10 to take me again...Believe us or not..we are the ones that know what happened...

Dare I speak the name, but Scionspeed had the Phantom grip installed when they ran 12.1 at the track. That was before we had far superior LSD options though.

They were $112 shipped to my door. I am not sure if you can get these overbore. I am sending these to Finished Cryogencis in Ohio along with my OEM valves, springs, retianers. I will be running 400whp and 7k revs on this setup pretty much daily in the summer. Well see how it turns out.

^ i think the same - its just the fact that saving an extra $1k isnt worth it to me if you have to pull the engine again and redo things. But hey, Ide love for him to find some good, cheap, parts that other people can use. The main issue is that you need to form a trust in these other 3rd party places. The mainstream companies have better quality control and I think the price inflation is worth it, but party on.
