Re: 4agte power, 11.4sec 1/4mile!

Well I am, I sold mine to Chris above which is why his is turboed. :D 8) The downpipe off the turbo from speed-source fits like a dream, but even THEIR manifold has issues.

Not really, only if I had hit my head on the non-airbagged steering wheel, which had knocked me clean out and somehow prevented me from turning the ignition off :pale:
