LoL I was actually thinking about that haha. I don't intend on running Q16 race gas on the daily so hopefully it'll be a while before something breaks.

You'll be alright for a good while but even at 8 lbs. Something will always give. Very nice build all the way through if I would of been closer to Florida I would of gone the same route!

Long time no update....car has still been running awesome as my daily driver/only car. Have a set of 18" RPF1s, but need tires. Have a Stillen front bumper/side skirts, but needs paint mounting. Have lots of wants, but just retired from the military and need to find a job first lol. Just found out I got into Super Street

Congratulations on the retirement and thanks for serving our Country. LOL I purchase that copy of Super Street and didn't recognize that that was your car. That is pretty awesome.

Retirement is awesome as two incomes does not suck.... and my wife and kids are really happy about that!

After a few months of waiting, I finally got the Stillen kit painted and put on. Had to trim the center portion near the sides of the grill to fit the intercooler piping. I love the way it looks and like the extra air flow in the front, but the sides are a damn dirt/dust collector!

What's up man. Were you at the Dyno show down at CES motor sports a few months ago? I think I talked to you for a few minutes because I have a 370 and I was looking into turbo kits. We exchanged forum names but my memory is horrible haha

Yup, still loving my setup after several months, daily driven. Here's a quick vid messing around w/ the GoPro and trying out different microphone mounting locations:
