[jimmyc607]

Nice man this should put down some good power, any expectations? goals?

[freeman]

i would love to break 450 on pump like starmer did then just bring it back dwn.....but my goal would be 500 on race gas but i dnt think that my turbo could get me that unless i go bigger

[jimmyc607]

Nice! 450 on pump would be nasty man :)
