I would think that scenario would work great in florida.... just throw a garden hose out the window and pump from the ocean as you drive

So will the TVS 900 kit be compatible with this W2A intercooled solution or will it be the stock / GP type A2A intercoolers.I guess the W2A will be an option or upgrade.

It will take a different hat on top of the SC to connect to the RMW Air Chiller.

Very simple indeed.

Hey, could that be a picture of my new exhaust? Tracking shows that one is slowly making its way north.

Why don't you show folks what they REALLY want to see.. the additional muffler housings, waiting to be built?

Too bad I don't have enough HP to take advantage of those beautiful things... I hear they gave Danny some HP over his multiple hush-power straight through system... but then again percentage wise I'd be looking at 1-2hp on my low-tech Mini.

You know, we could both get divorced.... Then we could marry each other and share one badazz RMW MINI. You ARE a hairdresser, after all...

Having the car would almost be worth it. Almost.

actually it made nice torque gains over the regular Newman cam at 4600 all the way to the limiter

for the race track................ it's a big advantage

I don't have the last set of runs with the biggest numbers as the tech didn't save them on my flash drive. Hopefully they saved them so everyone can see it.

11whp over the best run ever for Big Howe
