Great pickup man. The RS fuel setup w/swirl pot is on my must have list. Having the car fall on it's face during hard right handers at the track, is annoying.
i have something for the bumper that will block the wind im not done yet.
Here is a video link to my photobucket of the first start up of the car it was on the stock computer just to check the fluids and get the coolant going and check for leaks.. Will sound better when i get the new haltech on it and tune it..Also sounds better in person this is phone quality!!!

Travis did you miss his Ptuning front motor mount?
wouldnt it be better to put a slight angle on the exhaust rather then attach somthing to the bumper that can still let air in? j/w

Well in my opinion i dont really see the whole air going into the exhust being an issue. For one the amount of exhaust pressure that will be coming out of it while in boost will be alot.It isnt angled that much it follows the bumper. If you seen rados new awd tc his is on the hood and air can flow in that one to..When i get it out on the street i will let all of you know how it runs and if thats an issue but me and the othere techs at are shop talked about it and dont see it being an issue.. Thanks for all the concerns tho.

that is a very true about rado's a lot more air would go in their then in yours. don't get me wrong man i love this build i was just curious about that one thing
Also my thoughts on the exhaust placement with the air rushing past it can also act like a siphon effect meaning it will pull rather than push the air in.. If you take a bucket and fill it with water and take a hose and put it in the bucket and take a air nozzel and connect it to a compressor and hold the tip at about a 35degree angle it will actually pull the water out of the hose..I know this cause when are water hose at are shop starts to leak we have a big 10gallon bucket under it and thats how we drain it lol..
