He likes Neptune. He is truly amazing, have you never heard of him before?

Since it has been a while, now is a good time for an update. 
After a big fiasco with the suppliers regarding their fuck up with the manifold, I have the right one (hopefully) on the way. Now, the issue of downpipe fitment is probably going to haunt me since I have had anything but stellar luck so far. If it doesn't fit, the car will just have to sit for a while so I can get it fixed because I am not putting that Greddy kit back on again.
I also decided that I am through with Crome and its buggy software. I am sick of tuning hour after hour to still have the car run like shit and idle like it is totally untuned. I predict that getting the 880's to idle correctly in Crome is going to be an absolute nightmare. I have purchased Neptune RTP and plan to street tune for low boost until the motor is built and then take it over to Servion in CO Springs to tune for the big power. Cortney Green is a great tuner, no doubt, but CO Springs is closer and Servion has a much better reputation, IMO. If any of you guys are interested in any of my Crome hardware (BURN1 chip burner, Moates' ostrich, Honda-log), let me know because it will be for sale shortly.
I'll post pics up as soon as the new manifold comes in and goes on.

Salt Lake City is actually 25 miles closer than Colorado Springs.

You're right, it is closer. It is a much more dismal drive, though.

been there done that
did you decide on pistons yet? one thing i like about cp's is their strict tolerances and built in piston to wall clearances. but wiseco's are also very nice with their standard skirt coatings.

By the way, Cortney's SN on HT is uglyasscivic, you might just want to drop him a PM for fun.

Yeah, definitely. Keep in mind that I will probably have to wait until spring since both directions have mountain passes that are subject to being murdered by blizzards, so I have time to think this over. I'll get in touch with him.
