Others might want to get your deposit in now to reserve one of the next 5 production runs and you can boost with confidence!

I currently am tuned on Uprev ARC with my N/A setup. Once I have this supercharger setup on my car, my option will be to upgrade both MAF's with the GT MAF's ($700), or save that $700 and put it towards an Ecutek E-tune with SD since we have no Ecutek tuners in Colorado. If I choose the latter, should I be concerned about the significant elevation changes in Colorado that could throw off my numbers heavily when SD tuned? If I drive up to the mountains that's 5000-9000' higher, if I go on a road trip that's much more oxygen as well (and where the real danger hides if I go with the 2.85" pulley with Si trim).

Default Front Crash Bar solution

I am curious on how many people who have Topgunz A2A kit have (and have not) installed some kind of crash bar? If they did install a crash bar, did they install OEM somehow, purchase Fast Intentions, or make their own?

My sc with a2a kit is almost complete and I have the fast intentions crash bar on order. It's suppose to work fine as the stock one will not work.

The shop that did my A to A installation cut a small section out of the OEM crash bar for the IC clearance and seam welded the cut section to get it's strength back.

Might it be possible to show a pic of what they did?

Forgive this post if I've missed a dyno sheet somewhere in the bowels of this thread, but does anyone have one they could toss on here? Much appreciated! Especially awesome if it has before/after graph...

There were some but I think photobuckets lameness has made them all unviewable. I will have to get some up here soon.
