Nice, Doug. I agree on the a pillars. Ive had them on acouple of cars and they canbe a lil annoying at times.

**Doug1227** · 04-19-2013, 06:45 PM

Stealthy!

That Roush pod is a nice piece. I run that and the SOS pillar for everything.

I got the intake manifold back from the polisher. It came out pretty good I think!

**Grandpa** · 04-26-2013, 02:51 PM

Any updates, Doug? Get that thing on there yet?

**Doug1227** · 04-26-2013, 07:23 PM

I'm putting it on Thursday- Sunday of next week. Tune on Monday 5/6.

Looks like we'll be competing for dyno time! LOL! I'm dropping mine off on the 2nd for the clutch work and stuff, and they can't get to the tune until the 6th. I'm leaving on a 3500 mile road trip (drag race in Ohio) on the 12th, so I hope they get it right!

They did a great job on the polish. What liter kb is that btw?

**Doug1227** · 04-26-2013, 09:33 PM

I hope we're not...I was told he was blocking off pretty much the whole day. I think my appt. is at 11AM. Maybe he'll get to yours earier.

He can transfer that learning curve over to mine! haha!

You got a built in 87mm advantage already (I'm still running the stock TB), you aren't goin gto need any extra help! LOL!

**Doug1227** · 04-27-2013, 01:10 PM

You've got a few things as well that get that number up.... long tubes, 6M, etc. I'm hoping to make through the A6 what you do, however, I did pick up a couple smaller pulleys just in case!LOL!

I think you'll be surprised what Manny can do with an A6. I doubt you'll "need" a smaller pulley, but you might "want" a smaller pulley! More is almost always better. Are you doing the oil pump at the same time?

**Doug1227** · 04-27-2013, 04:52 PM

It has a 4-1/8 on it, and I bought a 3-7/8 and a 3-3/4 just in case. I'll be very happy @ 640-650 assuming he feels it's safe. Not doing the oil pump gears now, as I'm just going to go all out and do a built motor next year. Just gotta keep it together for that long. haha.

That was my thinking too, since there's a built shortblock coming, why do the gears until then? I don't beat on her too hard usually, but she's about to get some track time on the 17th. Hopefully, she cruises back to Texas under her own power and not on the back of a trailer!
