Do it NOW.

He only has a couple left and he will be out of stock until end of Nov.

27k on the car, if the motor is ok, it sounds fine and starts fine but I'll know more later on the health of the motor, I'll probably just go eqt right now, that's about as much power as I need without building the motor and I honestly would rather buy an R and build that just cause of traction purposes. I'll do some fueling later

Nice! I’m suprised you and Hoon both went EQT over Littco, I think the quicker spoil of the L450 is a selling point over the slightly higher hp potential of the EQT, but then again I’d probably never do fueling mods to get the most out of either

I went L450...good to see more people running both options. We'll get some good comparisons soon.

Railroader and I were within 1whp on our IS38 setups.

Ah ok sweet, it wasn’t exactly clear which way you went from what I skimmed

This is perfect for me, while my is20 lives out its golden years you guys can give some great opinions of each option id be looking at for its replacement when it finally has its day

65,000 miles and counting, all but 7k ish tuned
