Thanks man and the traction bar allows more room for downpipe clearance, allows for adjustable caster, and gives you more traction (hence the name) because there's a heim joint instead of a bushing which results in less wheel hop

I'll try to add more pictures later on but it's neptune tunerview 2 (the smaller screen) and I have red but you can pick from a few different colors. I've seen people have it in this location but I couldn't find any write ups so I sort of had to do trail and error to get it to fit. The screen itself is just an all in one gauge that shows anything from ect temperature and injector duty cycle to check engine codes. I got mine from xenocron

Got this inline filler neck but didn't realize it was for a larger size rad cap, most likely I'll still use it though



Downpipe mocked up





Might make a second one like this



I was cleaning out the tech library at work, thought you guys would find this cool



Would it be better to use an intercooler like the first picture or use the stock evo9 intercooler? I'm aiming for around 300hp, guess I could always make adjustments if I need a bigger intercooler down the road. I already have the evo intercooler but just looking for input since a ton of stuff will need cut for the evo intercooler to fit

Very interesting! I like the manifold you made. Very very cool. What do you weld with?

As for an intercooler. You really can't go wrong with the front mount in the first picture. You can get a lower quality one and it will work for your HP goal.

One more thing...
stage 6 action 6 puck clutch

From what I've read isn't a 6 puck like a stage 4? I know every make is different though. That will be a little chattery and probably overkill for this build. I think, if I remember correctly that is. I could be wrong.

I would go with a full face clutch over a puck clutch with similar torque rating. Its so much smoother when in stop and go traffic.
