Just went out and stared at the car for awhile. Man there is a lot of room for piping with the wire tuck and what not if I would just ditch the AC

Yes sir. Most all of us have that problem Josh. That's why I'm near stock. One day though:)

After seeing some of these builds and the HP they are making at less boost I am wondering about my build. Maybe I need to look at my engine again? Heads? Intake? The frustration from this last track outing is getting to me.

Just pulled the plugs on the engine and am doing a compression test now. Here are the plugs.

the pics of the plugs are looking from the rear facing forward. Anyone wanna tell me why the #3 and #5 plugs are so much darker and lighter than the rest? I also don't have the right adapter for my compression tester so it looks like I wont get much sleep tonight.

LOL, I looked at the AC with my 4" downpipe builder for quite a while. Just couldn't give it up.

EDIT: I hate you! I'm looking at the Garrett GTX4294R now damn you! :) CPRsm!!!! I wonder if it would fit!?! Oooohhhhh need a new intercooler with right size inlet/outlet and coldside piping!!!! Nooooo...I'm satisfied now damnit!!!
