Did you have to drain your A/C with where you moved your motor? We had to drain and recharge mine to pull it all the way.

moved my motor?

no, I didn't have to drain the A/C to install the greddy.

I had to do it for the Turbonetics kit though...and then again when I removed the turbontics kit as TN supplies you with a longer A/C line so that you don't melt it!

my goals are for more power than the TN kit will support (with a normal power curve). At the current time, I still have a stock Revup engine...which seesm to be holding up to abuse better than the standard VQ....anyway, when the time comes, the Greddy will grow with me.

I thought about holding out for the possibility of a TN stage 2, but I figured that no matter what, the best downpipe you could probably get with a TN might be a 3" DP, while the greddy easily supports dual 3" DPs.......

so, I went for it! Jeremy @ Performance Factory made me a deal that I couldn't refuse. Plus, he found a buyer for my TN kit. I was very reasonable with what I thought the Tn was worth. I told Jeremy what I was thinking; he called me the next day, and he had the buyer for my TN kit...

I tend to be an impulsive buyer. Jeremy said he had a Greddy in stock, and I said OKAY!!!

Nah, he just wanted to have as much fun as I do ever time I go to the store!!

As for impulsive, I think we both max out that scale.

LOL, I have a nitrous kit in my garage still from my last car.
I was going to sell it and keep one bottle for an IC sprayer but I like how small the 5lb bottles are for the other kit.

We are bad. Over the last 16 months I have all my spare money and time, plus some money I didn't have yet into my car. Still trying to pay off some debt from the TT kit, etc. Oh well, at least its worth it!!

Too bad we live on opposite sides of the country. It would be so fun to go out one night and shock the hell out of some Corvette and Porsche owners.

What would you do if your new Vette got beat by a sedan on each side at the same time.

Hey Quad, have you been following the SFR kit?

That would be sick...
