wow, I am sure the guys in the viper were saying "wtf" to each other. I would have loved to have seen the faces on both of them.

I have been reading about alky. Don't think I will go there though. This will be my daily driver. The other guy who has this install is running 11psi, 17 degrees timing and 0 KR. From what I understand it is a task keeping the SOB in line.

what will you be doing about the tranny? i'm sure it wont be up to that much power unless you are gentle with it. ive had some fast stuff so i know i wouldnt be gentle with it. lol

why not use a smaller pulley and add an intercooler?

sorry i forgot you had a GT, but as far as the GTP I don't see why the hell you take the SC off for a turbo when the same levels are attainable.

Turbos are more efficient then superchargers.

As for the tranny it should be ok. I won't be racing everyday and I always keep my maint. schedule. As long as I don't do 50 in reverse and slam it into drive I should be alright.

Civics NEED to be re-inforced.

What is the tranny on it?

Go to turbobuick.com and check out the 3800 series forum.

Alchohol is the best/easiest HP gain. Its 500$ and you can gain 60-100hp. Think of it this way..

Example of the awesomeness of alky:

I could only run 10-12PSI w/out KR(detonation) BEFORE alky. If you figure 8-10 HP per PSI, I was able to run over 20PSI w/ ZERO knock w/ tiny injectors(meaning bigger injectors would be even more boost) That gave me roughly 80-100hp by running that much boost.

Hands down THE best investment for my car. You can adjust when it turns on how much it sprays when it turns on, and how much at full spray.

You just need to get a kit that is made well, thats all.

Most GN's use alky over race gas. Or both at the same time.

My car in my sig will have 1 gallon of methanol in it everyday, and its my daily driver.

read this thread.

basically, everyone loves alky, and there are the few who think racegas is better,but that is concerning running it at the track on insane boost levels.26+PSI
