Dammnn....BlkZoomZoom, you are the luckiest guy I know. if it wasn't for that damn house payment I could have one of those. Looks tough and can't wait for the dyno's. Keep us posted.

MP Nick, with the base shortblock that you offer what would be the max hp that you would recommend that block for? My goal is around 400+whp if that helps at all. If the $2100 block won't handle that kind of power (I only need the 400+ to the ground when I'm running at the track, and around...

Damn matty p, how many people do you not get along with? jk. I personally drive a msp so the supercharger will not be the route for me, but a very good upgrade for those that drive n/a right now. And also, imo, you may want to start with a different pulley as you stated to keep the boost around...

GI: Head Gasket Update/Intake and Exhaust Valve Interest is where i found info on the new headgaskets that are suppose to be released next month. The original post was by MP3racer, so thats who youd need to contact for the Cometic head gasket.

The msp is set at 7psi from factory, so I guess that would be the safest depending on the comp. ratio on a p5. I don't know if there's any diff. in the compression of a p5 vs. a msp. Hopefully to keep things simple for your install, they are the same. If not, since youd be running a "safe"...

If you go down on the whp wanted, from what I've been paying attention to on this forum, with correct em, a fmic or for your wanted h.p., smic, freeflowing exhaust, and a little up in boost, your whp may be accomplished w/o doing the internals. Keep in mind though that some msp's have freak...

You might type a little slower, but after reading your mods, your car should be faster.

How's your clutch holding up? If money isn't an issue, i'd fork the money for a new one, just so your doing all your wrenching at one time. Te stock fuel pump may or may not be able to handle the load, it kinda depends on your boost settings, and if theres a piggyback, or a msp computer. The 2...

The core charge on the s/b is just like a core charge from say autozone. They make you pay out a certain amount over the initial cost to cover the cost, if you dont, or dont want to return your core. The $2995 does not include the core charge. So if you purchased the s/b from mam, unless you...

I called and spoke with someone from wagner b4, but I can't remeber exactly what wagners shortblock comes with. The pricing is around $2200.00 for wagner w/$500 core charge, and $2995.00 for mam w/$600 core charge. I'll recheck my email to see if wagner emailed me back yet about the contents and...

Are there any mods done to your car, or did you do any recent mods?

By far MAM is the best that I have seen, but another option would be to check with Wagner. IMO, mam is offering way more out of their shortblock, but if you are limiting yourself to a certain horsepower, and/or limited on funds, wagner's block is by far still stronger than the factory. Good luck...

Even though the pics might not be the best quality, the kit is, so I know it looks good. Post more pics as progress comes along. (bow)

Yah, it sounds like an upgraded clutch would be a good idea. Also dont forget that your either gonna need an msp radiator(stock msp is narrower to allow room for the intercooler), or a fmic kit thats made for an msp that allows for an upgraded radiator.

Although you may not want to make your msp into an srt4, you may need to look into the compression that the srt4 has, along with the turbo size. Actually since your actually wanting the awd platform, check the compression, along with psi of a evo. As far as the awd idea, i've seen it done with...

I am very impressed!!!!, I am still curious on the routing of the cai or sri though. Also, MAM, what does it take to be one of those test-bed, parts-trial people that you were talking about in diff threads?

First, you might want to think about the goal of the car. Theres a ton of parts out there, dependent on the plan for your msp. For instance, you might only want 190-200whp, so you might not need as much$$$ for mods as someone that wants 250+. Figure out your goal, then do some searches, then if...

I'm just waiting on the full release date from mam. I've seen the pics of the kit while under constr, but I want to see pics of the full kit, placement of piping, cai, etc. This will have to be the best kit out when released. mam, keep up the good work.

If the turbo kit offered by hiboost can safely run at least 20 psi, and put down a 12.5 with no lsd, or forged internals, what is the boost top off of the turbo in that kit? Also, someone speaking for mam, the ss kit I know puts down at least 196whp, but thats gotta be at a low boost setting...

Is there any updates or release dates for the bigger kit? Also, i'm guessing the 20psi is strictly for the track, so on the kit that is now offered, what would be a safe street-daily driven psi. And if possible, could you include a guesstimate on the pricing of the bigger kit.Thanx
