oh, OK,
so you're saying the evosport pulley kit + the RENNtech airbox = 15-18hp
That makes sense.

well, carlos,

evosport advertise something like a proved 12hp gain, and renntech advertise something like a proved 15-18hp gain.

But I doubt both of them will give me a 30hp gain, its more like, both of them is something around 15-20hp gain MAX haha

Carlos,

those caps came with the wheels, I think I might switch em out for the black Laurel ones, but not sure yet!

Rob,

now these black wheels are on, my amgs are sitting in the garage, and those are the ones that you CAN see, I still have a set of just rims in that closet next to the stack of wheels.

Kev,

Thanks alot bro, the ride is great, its a lot stiffer, steering is stiffer, and turning is alot better, the "throttle lag" is not that bad, not as bad as I thought running 19s would be!
