Anyway, I'd really like to know just what you got in there, if you don't ming me asking.
Check my cardomain and your answers shall be revealed.

It'll fit any 2.4L w/ a getrag tranny, but yeah I am the guinea pig. The thing is touchy for sure, it's loud, it's uncivilized, it's on my car so it fits with the rest of the hoopty.

Oh yeah as of a few minutes ago, current state of under the hood.

The battery will be going back under the hood, as will a new MSD DIS2 and MSD coil packs and wires, in the next few months.

the only thing painted is the powdercoating on my intercooler plumbing. the intake manifold is raw, and just sanded lightly.

It's hanging out on the back of the motor, slapped onto a simple cheap log style manifold. Nothing special.

Right now, not expecting anything, just wanting to enjoy the bastard car. I do expect something in the vicinity of a 500hp dyno this year though.

Guess we'll see.

It'll be insane if it happens. I just want to get all the lil kinks out, and find a better way to cool this motor. It's just too hot outside right now, 116 weather sucks major ass right now for any driving enjoyment.

Heard about someone running AC lines through the IC, but I think that was BS.
