Thanks bud, I expected alittle better out of it but I guess it's not too bad for short shifting at 6000, the intercooler pipe pops off at 6500 rpm, once I get that fixed I can roll it it to 7500

When you're able to take full advantage of your power band, car will move out! Nice ride man.

It comes off the throttle body u think it would work on it? I was thinking of building a bracket and to hook the throttle body to the pipe

Is it tied together with rubber couplings? I have heard if you spray hairspray inside the coupling then slip them on, it should help it stick. Worth a try anyway... or you could bead roll the end of the pipes so a clamp will hold

Worth a try anyway.. hairspray is only a couple dollars. I think when I read about it they mentioned to get the aerosol Aquanet type of stuff. You might want to google the hairspray on coupling thing.. might be a certain spray that works better than others.
