Mine is up front and no problemos on cruises with racing, road trips or traffic plagued driving. Have you looked it over fir issues? Granted you have a 35 vs my 20G.

Im getting a Full Blown kit after im back from this deployment. cant wait.
SBD and loving it. Makes about 270/200 on 10psi with 91 and no issues. Must be ok with modding crash beam, purchasing ECUTek license, gauge(s) for your comfort (I have a o2 and multi gauge) and borrowing/buying an ECUTek cable for loading the supplied tune.

So far my only cooling mods are the APR cooling plate and oil cooler. And I'm not 100% sold on the necessity on the oil cooler. Well we will see once we get into the summer months and I continue it race it as much as I've been.

If I were looking at going big (well over 400whp) I would give a serious look at JDL and their setup. I have noted some issues but they appear to be growing pains but I'll continue to keep my eye on them. P&L & MAP are also worth mentioning. Full Race is making a little bit of noise about getting into our arena too.

Seeing the issues in the beginning with FBM early on is what kept me away and them having all this time to fix issues is what have me doubting. Perhaps it's the big # pursuit. Perhaps it's the customers. I'm not sure.

My advice is be realistic. Map your end game and the decide on what it is you wanna accomplish. Is it daily driving with a huge smile? Is touting hp #s and all top end? Is it circuiting the road courses or drag racing? Do you have a second car so you can afford to park your 86 while working on teething issues? Decide and then make your choice on the right setup.
