lots and lots of fans and dehumidifiers At the price per qt. on the paint, it's not worth the risk. It'll get finished when the climate dries out a bit. Unless, of course, you have a paint booth available for 0 cost. Then I would love to go! But since paint is delayed, I will be at the track tomorrow if anyone else wants to join.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it too. looks killer man. those rota grids? oh and did you wetsand that rear bumper yet? Yep, 18x8.5 Rota Grids. These were custom made for the Suby guys that had a friendly offset and a bit of concave dish in the wheel face. I got in on the buy hoping they would fit mine without spacers, and they actually did. Nope, didn't wetsand/buff the rear bumper as you can see in the 4th pic. The paint reacted in a few spots so it will need to be re-done; hoping for the next few weeks, but I wanted to drive it for awhile first. Plus I forgot to put the rear bumper (center) brackets back on after paint, so it needs to come off so I can bolt those up.

Here is the dyno as of last year. I was running a 1bar WG spring that couldn't hold boost, so power tapers off. That will be changed when I go to the dyno again this April. This is on pump gas tuned with DSMLink v2. Boost was set to 31psi, but fell off due to the low WG spring. Was enough for me to net a 11.86 @ 120.75 on pump with a full weight car (A/C, full interior, full stereo, etc). Also had some 121+ traps that night. 356whp & 340wtq on a Mustang Dyno. Not exactly what I was looking for (400+), but damn it feels stronger than it ever has. I think I will upgrade to DSMLink v3 and go speed density and maybe try out a set of full 272 cams and replace my broken valve springs with another set for 2010.
