I'm more of a Garrett person when it comes to using intercoolers, though they do cost a bit more than the Vibrant series, but they come as a second place. The mishimotos are not a bad bang for the buck considering their make up, but one must really use their larger ones just to get over the 450whp "hump", so I would reserve that as a 3rd choice.

They are guaranteed to 500, but I have customers who have been running in the 600's for years.

Nice setup, I am running the 6000 series valves myself. Great choice on the wide band BTW, I run the same setup with my S300. With closed loop enabled.

What the hell did they do to the bottom of your head? That is so WRONG!!! You don't deck a head with 60grit on a sander. I wouldn't even consider putting that on until it was properly decked.

You know what you're right. I don't know if its the light or is the surface finish really like that ? You want close to a mirror like finish if possible...

Nice i have one to

See what he says about the head The flash on your cam could be making it look a lot worse . Does it look the same with your eyes (actually looking at the head in front of you )?

Edit, Actually forget that, of course it will.
