Right, all you really need is the rpm window switch, right? I'm in florida I don't think I need a bottle heater. Probably might have to cool it down even.

I bet your trap speeds are slower than turbo guys though as they are liking making more power. You can't be making more than 220whp.

Does anyone recommend anything else other than an ecutek retune like a stadalone ECM.A local guy in our 86 club recommend a hydra ECM. Didnt know if that would be a smart move

I recommend a wide open throttle switch witch comes with most kits and a fuel pressure safety switch. Thats what I have and have had no issues.

EcuTek would be all you need, it can do alot. Might be overkill for a 50 shot though.

Oh thanks, so you don't have a window switch?

I think thats what killed that one guys motor his clutch slipped, hit the fuel-cut rev limiter and boom.

What you need is a ignition cut rev limiter which Ecutek can do.

I do have an rpm window switch as well. Just want to say ot is very difficult to wire it in but be patient

Does it really cut into the factory harness alot? Meaning removal would be difficult?

The only reason why I say it is difficult is reaching the wire. there is only one wire that you actually have to tap into and thats for the rpm signal its just deep in the engine bay. Other than that its just power and ground.

I plan on bumping the shot up after I get a tune probably to 75 or 100

Do you have access to e85? Id run that if you could.

I do have access to it, but there is a tuner I have been in contact with who recommends not to ise nitrous and e85 and I have never ran e85 ay all. If anyone has any more info on it id love here your thoughts on e85 and nitrous.

I'd suggest you hold off on the final drive until after you've added power. You may find you run out of RPMs too quickly with shorter gears. A built turbo FA20 with nitrous could easily get 500+hp, and many high-hp guys prefer running taller gearing. Just don't forget the E85.

Like I said earlier in this post ill only change the final Drive if I find I need to and I might got strait up nitrous instead of adding a turbo. I plan on 13.5:1 on my engine build to give me more power na and maybe get the HKS stroker kit as well nitrous will be a big boost with that setup. Does anyone one on here have the HKS stroker kit installed would really like to hear what you think about it

Just wanting to know if anyone has gotten a 1320 header. Im considering ot for my build but I haven't seen any collector diameters on it. Im looking for a 2.75 inch collector because I heard of rubbing issues with a 3" exhaust.
