They do excellent work on Mustang heads. They have a flowjet so they can track the progress as they port. They take a long time so you'd better get your head in there ASAP. Ask Pete how long it will take and he'll give you an honest answer.
Well... you'll have to call and ask them. I remember him telling me at one point he wouldn't even get around to porting mine for about six months. At that time my Supra was my DD. I couldn't have my car down that long. Who knows, maybe he has more help and less work now. But everytime his name is mentioned to this day it's always, "He does damn good work, but takes a long time." Again, maybe things have changed. I would give him a call and ask for his honest opinion. He'll let you know.

:thefinger You know, I was actually wondering about that. I'm just about to go into the garage and get something done today. I'm going to wire in my MAP ECU. Maybe button up the interior.
How'd everbody survive the iced roads we had the other day? I actually set out at 3:30am to go to work that day. I saw alot of cars that slid off the road. Some even overturned. It was very slippery out there.
i went and played in the snow (in the supra) on top of northstars parking garage.
thats a long and scary drive to work for you rufus

You guys know randolph blvd. That long stretch of road outside my neighborhood? I drove sideways down it for like half a mile to the gas station lol
I was driving that night too and that shit was scary!!! My heater wasnt working so i couldnt defrost the ice building up on the windshield and my clutch master cylinder went out that night too. I had to stop about 8 different times to scrape off the ice because i couldnt see. There was about 6 accidents in front of me and behind me with more than one car involved in the wreck, I was praying they didnt hit my car. It took me 2 1/2 hours to get home when it normally takes me about 50min. If there would have been less idiots on the road, i probably would have had fun too
It was freaking crazy!!! I came out of temple at 8 and it started snowing all the way to north Austin. Roads were great and I was hammer down trying to get back as soon as possible. Then of switched over to freezing rain, and all hell broke loose. It started in Kyle cars spun out or in the ditch. We all dropped it down to 35mph and limped it in to San Marcos. I saw 50 or 60 accidents in the last 45 miles I drove. It was the worst I've seen to date. A lot of our guys had to shut it down on the side of the road. Some waited till the snow to fall and give them some kind of traction.
Yeah when I was driving the 18 wheeler I was shitting bricks. I felt a lot better when I got in my lil civic.
i have been feeling conflicted with what route for tuning i want to take with my car.
as of now my car has stock fuel and stock electronics.
also...
forged internals
57 trim
1.5 greddy gasket
hard pipes/intercooler
turbo back exhaust
i was going lex 560cc and might still be.
now im thinking that i should try going new school.
with the ct26-57 im lookin for 380whp but i do plan on going for a bigger turbo later and would love around 500whp.
COULD YALL THROW SOME OPINIONS AT ME???

What's wrong with old school!!!! lolsan supra;1675184 said:
You can't go wrong with a full standalone system and definately make the switch over to speed density if your going for big numbers. I would go with an AEM. There's alot of info on those systems (as far as trouble shooting and tuning) and I hear they are really user friendly.
Just my 2 cents
i do like old school but with new school you have more options. remember this is and will be my DD.
aem standalone? i heard that some piggy backs are almost as good as standalones nowadays.
side question: just saw my rack boot was torn....how long can i drive like that?

Until you drag enough dirt into the system to:
A) Kill the rack seals
B) Kill the power stearing pump
C) Both of the above
is the rack rod supposed to have grease on it? it looked grease/ oily
i dont want to kill anything...lol
i dont want to kill anything...lol
Welcome to the club!!! I've been driving with a torn boot for over a year now!! I know its not good but I'm planning on getting a new rack with the tie rods anyway so I'm gonna run it till it dies.san supra;1675296 said:
The piggybacks have limitations unlike the standalone systems so it really goes back to knowing how big you wanna go.
