*********************
So, got the car back from F.I. Friday evening.
Spent an hour or two out screwing around, and was totally and completely blown away.
First impressions were as expected. The fit and finish is fantastic. I took a few minutes doing a walk-around/inspection, changed out of the valet-map, double-checked the boost group, let the oil come up to temp, then went for a drive.

...My first text to Tony was filled with expletives (much like my first reply here)

I started with the "around town" map, which is about 9 psi/590hp with conservative timing. It is a total mind-f@#k.
The power is relentless, but the most amazing part is the delivery. Specifically, the boost threshold and boost response. Needless to say, I am VERY happy on my decision to wait and go with F.I.

Anytime...anywhere...you have boost. Cruising along in 6th at 2800...tip in, and it instantly makes boost.
I did one pull up to the top of 5th along a deserted stretch and, well...its gets there DAMNED fast now. Stupid fast.
I'm totally going to have to re-learn this car at the track.

Oh, almost forgot. Those HTA wheels and the alpha housings sound WICKED! Major grin factor!

Saturday was my buddies car show.
All my local gear-head friends knew the car would be back, so it drew a lot of attention. People couldn't believe the numbers it made on a stock motor, and the attention to detail was oogled over all day.
I had Tony put a crinkle-coat black finish on the visible pipes and they came out REALLY well.
*********************

Oh, I also got to scare the **** out of the wife Saturday. Bonus!
Good to hear. I can echo everything you just said. The best part is, months from now, you will still be shocked at what your car can do, the kit is insane. I haven't drove mine for a week due to weather and took it to work today. STILL WORTH EVERY PENNY. The car still starts, idles, cruises around almost as smooth as stock, but when it's go time......sweet Jesus Christmas it is insane!

Baby steps on the track my friend! The power comes on so fast and early, well I am just glad you have a sick brake set-up!

Haha, enjoy brothers, warm weather is coming fast!

I am enjoying my torque...lol!
