First of all, thanks to all of the encouraging words. I think I got all the questions answered but if I missed one, feel free to remind me. Just to expand a little bit on the current stopping point. Click here:

Kochinopride- yes we could make one for the Automatic, the exact power that both the motor and the trans can hold is still up for debate and testing. Both are new to the market so no one knows the answer or can even predict the long term reliability. The tune is completely safe but the point when a rod comes out of the block or the head(s) lift are points that no one knows.
86drift- yes, direct and port
knapper- first post
subatoy- after we are done with tuning on E85 we will back track and tune on 93. With the haltech we have the ability to run a flex fuel sensor and be able to switch on the fly, pictures will be posted once we are done tuning.
DriftEightSix- yea these are just some throw away tires we had laying around the shop, a good set of rubber and this thing will grip and go
Exhaust- ^ in regards to the tires, correct greddy's built cosworth 2.5sti motor is probably the highest hp for the chassi, or maybe one of the 2jz swap guys, but just as easy as we could of done the same, that does nothing for the community that wants to know the limits of the motor that came from the factory. In regards to competition, we never strive to be the cheapest when it comes to our builds/tuning, we strive to be the best. Nothing against anyone else that is building or has a turbo kit for sale. We have nothing negative to say about any of them. In every market we participate in we sell/market our own turbo kit along with plenty of kits from other manufacturers and competitors. We will do the same in the FR-S market. We simply look at what the customer's end goals are with their vehicle and what budget they have to work with and recommend the best option we can provide, even if that is not selling our own kit.
adprokid- stock clutch but we will get back to that question here shortly
Visconti- thanks man!, we have been pulling some late nights and early mornings so have not had time among the rest of the work load during today but will have some more time to load up some baseline vs current graphs, once we are done tuning on E85, we will go back to 93 and tune it out and post back up
subatoy- undecided
Don@Accelerated- repeated results several times with in 1-2hp, still have stock header, and factory 2 or 2.25 or whatever size it is mid pipe that stops at back bumper with a short track pipe. Have been undecided on an exhaust system so rolled the dice with the stock piece in there. Obviously for the best flow, that piece needs to be removed, along with stock cat.
Coheed- info on setup is in first post but Tial GT2871, in regards to DD guys? Daily Driver--- this will be a daily driver car. I hope you don't have to eat your hat, I know myself and everyone else would love for that to be the case.
ahausheer- so far we have had no issues with cooling
