If you pick up the current issue of Evo Magazine it give all the details on the FQ 400. They feel that for point to point driving the FQ320 is much better car. The 400 doesn't really get on the power until about 5000rpms. Then there is the price for the car. At about 46,000 pounds it would probably be about $60k or more. 400 hp at the crank might not sound like much but this car will come with a full warranty and based on the build level it will last much longer that just cranking the boost levels.

Install the stuff yourself dude. That's 1490 in parts.

With these parts and lower IC pipe (225), O2 housing (115), HKS RS (275) I made 340 on a Mustang Dyno. Which reads lower than a Dynojet, which means close to 450 HP at the motor for 1490, plus 3 parts that MIGHT make 10 HP put together to total 2105 of which 615 is not really necessary. Why spend more????

Megan Racing. I run the downpipe and O2 housing and I also recommend them both. Megan makes GREAT exhaust products. Anything else is a waste of money to do the same thing.

I also said that the intake was not needed to make the power and was just a part I have installed. I don't know why you didn't say that....

mandrel bent and stainless and yes a muffler. it is cheap because they don't have the overhead of other companies and race cars to pay for etc.

you don't need headstuds and from what I hear, the ARPs aren't that good anyways. you're just regurgitating what you hear online, nothing more. try thinking on your own sometime.

You push more then 25 lbs of boost on the stock turbo enough and you will learn why you need ARP headstuds. Deffinetly the farthest thing from a "waste of money"
