What's on the car?  Are you bringing it to me?  I don't publicly post my
business on these lists Mark.  Remember, I too play with an I520vt just for
fun.

Why?  SD doesn't necessarily need it at all.

Necessary or desired?  I see a 2.75inMAF maxing out <450hp continuous.

IME, 400hp is the magic number.  Then the rods are the weak link.

Ask:  Rod, Hap, MLP...  I only know of a handful of folks
using"nonstreetable" mods on these cars.  "Extreme" to me (my point of posts)
is going to extraordinary efforts in SW and HW to accomodate a redundant and
unnecessary component to gain high HP levels in the I520vt.

Wax thread again?

Selling thought on this topic only for now.
