Oh and btw "custom" means I made it myself and all the internal work I did myself also. Yeah it was my daily driver too, 60 miles one way to and from work. A high power F/I car does NOT have to be unreliable. All tuning done by myself using a friends shop and dyno.

Hope this puts some of your doubt to rest man

I wasn't trying to get into a ____ing match, I just stated that I don't see how you could have produced that much power with so little money. I never said that a high powered f/i had to be unreliable, they can be very reliable. Thats good that you did a lot of work yourself, but with everything that you have listed made me even more of a doubter (especially with the AEM EMS added in there), but I will accept it and move on. I would ask you how much each item cost but what is the point. That would have been very rewarding putting on 2.5 in and getting 450whp out if that was the case.
