Depending on the CFM's, make sure your wiring is up to the task

I know…had no idea. But I’m only shooting for 210-220whp. Something I can be comfortable with on the track. Although as I was buying parts I realized it would have been cheaper to fix the B16b, but this way, if it blows, I can get another LS for cheap. I thought about getting another B16b or even a B18c, but apparently the $1500 I paid for mine was like one of those deals that you don’t find very often.

Sucks that my tuner view is at the post office but supposed to be delivered tomorrow

You will want more than 220 believe me. Sounds fine now, but just up the boost and tune and boom your at 300 before you know it.

Thats the beauty of LS's and D-Series, they are such a great budget engine.

The logic is that if I do it that way, I can pull all the suspension and sell it, too. Otherwise I have to keep it mobile, thus losing money or the parts I have to leave on it.

What is the right price?
Very cheap would be ideal

I remember showing up to Ryan's house one day (5 years ago now) and in only a day, he had taken a sawzall to his black CRX. That f*cker just cut straight down the windshield through the glass!

I recommend cutting it at the firewall....then again at the b-pillar...and straight down the middle making 6 pieces.

Remember that Stefen has a freshly rebuilt GSR short block.

I'd say a couple inches above where it flares at, all the way around. I have no idea what to offer for it. I don't want to spend much on it. By much I mean more than $50ish. Was the driver side the one that had some rust on it?

Just sent u a PM, NA...
