Consider it a downpayment on the flux capacitor.

I promise you are not putting any turbos on your car! If it could be done even somewhat cost effectively there would be some turbos on my car already. I believe you might be buying some heads from Andy, maybe even some regrind cams but you are going to have to dig deeper than heads if you want to beat me, remember I am doing heads, billet cams and most likely pistons. So if you are buying the heads I'm still at least one step ahead of you

You're going to need more than one banana, and will they strap me in as well?

Doing a 98 octane v2 test for you tomorrow Rick (also cutouts and hopefully if time permits no filters).

Car feels insane and we're having an "Indian Summer" right now.

I spoke to Jim earlier this week. He had put the broken ECU back in his car with MHP tune to test a few weeks ago and all was again normal and the car was pulling like a monster. We are currently flashing a the new ECU provided by Jim, he should be good to go by the end of the week with both our ECU/TCU. With dyno numbers hopefully soon to follow.
Again though with just the ECU in place he noticed a huge difference.

Thanks
