What have you done to your MSP today?

Finally i got all of the parts to fix my broken head gasket, i got this time a thicker .078" Thickness Cometic custom made head gasket droping my Compression ratio from Aries 8.5:1 Low compression Pistons to aprox 7.8:1 to be able to run more boost safely, also this time i'm going to advance more the timing to gain more HP. They said with this gasket i can safely go over 32 PSI with proper fuel delivery and tune. I doubt i want to go that far but i might try to reach the 30 PSI just to see how it feels and make a video of it to share it here with you guys.. Also i got all of the engine gaskets and main oil seals to replace them, since i have s*** load of water in my oil i'm going to change all of the seals and gaskets just in case as well as my ARP head studs for new ones.. i can't really wait for my final performance toy.. 505zoom Intake Manifold in Black anodized.

Thanks Daniel, i was also able to get in touch with a Haltech Official Rep Shop here in SPAIN, and since i have sold 6 Units from them in here, they are going to Retune my car for free, picking it up in their shop truck and trailer. they said they want to sponsor my ride in here and they want to be able to retune everything to the current MAP TBK did to me. I'm so damn happy i can't wait to have everything installed and fix including Rich's IM. i really can't wait to see what kind of numbers i'll be putting down next with a new tune, new stronger ACT Racing clutch with custom Xtreme Pressure Plate, more boost and better IM...

Im pretty sure Robert my car is making over 500whp working properly with no IM leaks and heat soaking since i've moved my intake from the turbo to a cooler area. but adding rich's IM and the rest of the stuff mentioned above i really can't guesstimate in what HP range i'll be at... I've learned in here that without a damn dyno sheet or a video guesstimating can get you murderer in this forum...

Yeah I know. I'm in the same boat. But I've only got a few more months to pay on her and I'm done! So anything will be extra. I'm planning on getting a second car by next year though. So if I get stranded anywhere, I'll have a backup.

That's an exellent idea Lara, the MSP's are Fragile like a women, you need to treat them good and soft in order for them to last long. I'm lucky my car is paid off and all of the mods i've done are as well. I also have my daily beater here in Spain so i only take the MSP out like twise a month on weekends just to cruise, chill and pimp.. lol and the rest of the days she rests under a car cover inside my garage, i don't beat her hard everyday only few times on the weekends and also only when my friends wants to loose a dinner against their 5 times more expensive rides... lol lol... By the way Happy Valentines Darling, hope you had a great time.
