I've seen work by both and they both do very good work - can't go wrong with either, but if you cheap out on the quality of film you pick it's not exactly their fault.
Wow you really are turning into a DSM ******* aren't you? LOL

Well after a great weekend of taking pictures of a friend's wedding I am back at home. I also had some time to practice the launch and I think I discovered my major problem. My 2-step is set at 5500 which is just WAY too low to get any boost off the line. Even when I really really slipped it I still fall flat on my face with no boost because of the lag from the 35r. One of my buddies has a cable and I have evoscan so we should be able to fix this and get in the boost range off the line. I think that with my setup around 6400 sounds right, anyone who has had some experience with this in the past feel free to lend some thoughts.

I lauched at 5900 rpm on the stock turbo...so if you have the bigger turbo...sounds like it would make sense....give it a try for sure.

I have talked to a few people that have similar setups and ~6400 seems to be about par. 5500 is way way too low for a 35r.

i don't believe there will any paying at the event this time, although i am not 100% sure about that.

and i don't know colin. if you make sure to go slow, i think our friendship could be preserved.

hey guys, i have a favor to ask. i lost one of the bolts that holds the heat shield on to my exhaust manifold. it's a short one with an allen drive on top.

does anyone have any extra bolts lying around for that?

i know some of you guys have to have some extra bolts around i could get.

I have a can with extra bolts and surely I have those. I never want to risk having the car not put together right because I strip some nut so I tend to buy extra first.

A stainless steel clutch line is not in your mod list.

Do you have one?

If not you should.

Launching the car with stock clutch line with restrictor pill in much harder.
