they were a bit of a pain to tune, and even once they were working pretty well, the idle was inconsistant and IMO it looked kinda janky. was able to sell them for the same price of the manifold so i really couldn't loose!

also i am adding boost soon, and that was a major contributing factor :thumbup:

another thing, that old front spoiler, was that a Zender piece?

yes i believe it was a replica made from a zender spoiler. the origional zender's that i have seen are generally a hard plastic type material, this one is made out of fiberglass. It went on a friends track car for a few events and we are doing some repairs and it will go back on with some nice big flairs.

Hoosier is coming out with a 255/40-13 :eek: that fit on a 13x10 an im intending to fit those on the car for track days/autox/hillclimb events :thumbup:
