    60-1 power?

    a good baseline number for the 60-1 CT with supporting mods (exhaust *duh*, air/fuel) is around 325-350ish Before I bought my 60-1 ct, I did some reading up and the majority of the graphs were around those numbers. Conservative tune, suitable for DD. You can squeeze a decent amount more...

    Intercooler piping determination (FFIM)

    If your going to be wiring up two batteries, and go through the trouble of fitting those in the front, why don't you just re-located the single normal sized battery? Not only will it make your life easier from the FFIM stand-point, it will also releive some of the clutter of your engine bay

    Clutch slipping, but only on highway? Heat issues?

    I just recently drove to Tallahassee from tampa, about a 5 hour trip. Not driving fast, just cruising at about 2800-3000 RPMs. 5th gear, ease onto the throttle to pass and the clutch slips badly. So, continued cruising to tally being carefull not to get on the car hard. But for sure the clutch...

    oil in #6 spark plug...

    I had a similar thing happen to me, it ended up being a faulty valve cover far back near the #6 plug, and as a result of the angle of the motor, the oil just pooled down in the galley near #6 New valve covers and gaskets fixed everything. Hope if anything this gives you and idea!

    lowering ?s

    Just an update for anyone searching around It has been many months since my install of the Intrax springs, and if you've read the thread I was complaining earlier about the front sitting higher. Figured I would wait a while for "settling" and after all this time the front still sits higher.

    Anyone ever use this Cooleeze Turbo inlet pipe?

    a cracked accordian hose is not a good thing. although no boost leaks, your letting in A. Un-metered air, and B. Un-filtered air, which can lead to the death of your turbo and yes, the small vacuum line on the bottom of the hose is the power steering idle line.
