Tell them to sponsor me too then, save your breath and here is the review... LOL

I have had both the 350 and the 400.

Both are similarly hard to launch properly, but for different reasons.

The FX350 can be slipped into a good start. Problem is, if you are in stop and go traffic and slip it a few times, ti gets hot and slipping it will result in feeling the whole motor and tranny jumping up and down in your dash. Press clutch, and try again.

The FX400 is extremely nice when cold. I say even nicer than the FX350. Problem is it doesn't take long to get hot after a few starts and once its warmed up oh boy...

There's almost no way to come off the line nice. It's very on off. You get used to it and do pretty decent, but its a constant battle to get it "acceptable".

I think once you pass the 3xxwhp mark and whatever trq you have to give some certain luxuries away. Car will be a bit louder, wont drive perfect and you will always have a chance of being stranded on the side of the road cause something went wrong

gtx2867r
Fbm rad
550 injectors
Fuel pump
Aem wideband fail safe
Perrin OP
Act street clutch

Planned: Oil cooler- will probably put my own together and fab a bracket and ducting
Planned: Fbm fan shroud

Hope to avoid a vented hood because in Vancouver it rains constantly

Car will be running 94oct, so not going for outrageous numbers. Hopefully make around the 300 mark. Going to try to stay with the Ark Grip 2.5" if it produces decent numbers. I have a Tomei 80, but after having ridden in a turbo car with one I definitely prefer the quieter steel exhaust, even if I have to sacrifice ~20hp or so and a bit of response. Will very likely go 3" in future, but if I do it'll be a proper turbo back. No point in half-assing it.

Tuner?

Drift Office. It's their first fbm kit. It will be great because we can have some more objective dyno comparisons. Ftw!

Looks good. With a decent tune you will meet your goals no problem.

What fuel? Elevation? Weather readings? SAE corrections? Good numbers (seems to spool slowly like it does not even start until 3200 and you run out of fueling around 6500). 3port of WG spring pressure? Amount of boost? How does it drive?

Sorry for all the questions. Helps with comparisons to cars on my dyno.

Solid numbers

E85, elevation is under 500feet asl, humidity was 40%. 17 psi on the 452whp pull, we ran out of fueling on the 461 pull i dont remember the psi, fbm manual boost controller. Car spins wildly above 4500rpm with 245 ventus v12s on the highway.

Okay guys, I have a little update. Infamous Performance I DO NOT recommend that you install the lines that you installed on my car for any other car. Oil was literally seeping out of the entire line length. It looked as though the lines were sweating oil. I'm going with stainless steel like I should have from the beginning. Not only that but there is a giant gash in the back of the oil cooler that is leaking oil that must have happened before it got bolted down because the cooler was bolted down tightly and there is no way that it could have moved and hit anything behind it. I now need a new oil cooler core. I am waiting for Bill @DeliciousTuning to get back to me with a basemap for 1000cc injectors, and the 1.5 bar map sensor for e85 that will allow me to move my car from the shop to the tune.

@Reaper goddamn, let me know when you grenade the tranny/axles/rear end.
