Thanks Shark. It was about time to sh&t or get off the pot! I am pretty happy about my decision I think. Although I am still running around pimping Sharkwerks with that license plate frame.

Yeah the Camaro had some last minute changes and tweaks to work out (go figure) but should be on the road in July... with these new turbos I had forgotten about that other car - thanks for reminding me.

Thanks Art. About time eh? You thought I was all talk!

I just got back from some 0-100 blasts in the city in perfect 59* weather. Man it feels quick and it's only .9 bar! Can't wait for 1.2 - 1.3 bar.

Congrats!!! Subscribed!!! I am seriously considering an upgrade and these are my top choice right now... However, I already have K24's so that would be an easy step to the 18's...hmmmm.

Looking forward to learning more from your experiences!

Thanks bro. I would totally go with the 18g if I had already had those. It was a tough call for me but that low end torque sold me on it. I guess you can always sell your k24s? Not sure what they go for on the used market these days....

In SF you should be able to get some cool (50 degree) weather in July, so lets see some 60-130's!

x50surfer is infamous around these parts
That sounds awesome, as a short time viewer, first time poster, is it incorrect to ask where you got the work done in SF area? When I'd looked into EPL dealer list I didn't see any Bay Area entries?

nice setup. One question. What is the reason for such large injectors on stock fuel pump? Is it for possible use with E85 in the future?

we keep things about them pretty quiet, but you get
massive low/midrange gains with sustained top end power and quicker spool

We do our best to try not to run injectors beyond 80-85% of there capacity... It's just good tune theroy and is widely thought of as "the law" in other markets.
