The Paint has been good, so far (KNOCK ON WOOD). It has been in the snow twice and been washed and waxed a few times. I used mothers paint sealer ( 3 Step, Cleaner, Sealer and Wax) and since then I have used eagle one wax as you dry. I have used this with all my cars for almost a year. Pretty good stuff especially on my Galctic Blue colored car. As for the twin turbos, I am very excited to see what we come up with.

AHH, its just a 50 shot. I ran NOS in my xterra for almost 1 year now. after I stuck the 32's on the truck, she just didnt pick up. It will be okay, 45000 miles and still strong..Thanks for the concern..

it really depends on how often you are gonna spray. but i guess it sounds like you know what you are doing, so just dont' spray at every stop light, and i guess you will be ok. just make sure everything is set up right, you'll be fine. i guess the ideal thing would be not to, but since you are goint to, do it with some reason. i dont wanna see that amazing car with a blown motor.

If anything, the pistons will be changed out. As it looks, boosting at 8lbs to 10 LBS shouldnt do any harm but as usual, we will investigate fully before moving on. I believe greddys car still has the stock internals. Does anyone know what there boosting at?

OK. I was wondering because if you're only going to boost 8-10 lbs on stock internals why go through all the trouble of twin turbos when a simple supercharger will do the same.

The reason Im going turbo..The shop I am working with is sponsoring my car, meaning there putting most of the money into the project. I only supply the car and pay about 2K. Not a bad deal. Trust me, if the shop wasnt hooking me up, i would do the supercharger route/ cheaper and easier to install..:)As for 8-10lbs, make it 8- to 1 bar tops.

What have you guys done to the car so far. We have had two 350's in out shop, one has had intake and exhaust and one has had just the intake. after numerous dyno runs there were no significant changes in hp or torque. The first car that we had, had both exhaust and intake and seemed to loose a few hp. The second had just the intake and seemed to stay about the same. On one run with the second car we saw appx 1hp increase, but nothing substantial.

I havent gone the exhaust or intake route as of yet. I ve been hearing to much of the minimal gains on the exhaust and intake. Are they doing full exhaust upgrades? headers, Cats and Muffler? Maybe theres a restriction somewhere? (CATS?) ECU adaption?Can you post the Dyno runs or email it to me. Id like to see before and afters of the graph. Also, when you guys did the run, was this a 3rd gear pull? ThanksMike
