I have the eboost 2 in the cup holder. Works great for covering it up when you dont want it seen. I just had to cut the bottom of the front holder out and it sits at a perfect height to reach without having to go to far into the cupholder.
There is a guy Ive been working with for about a year, for building parts for the 3.7, that is running a P1sc with a 3.0" pulley and a 50mm wastegate and a manual boost controller. He is hitting 12 psi on full boost but is making 5psi at 3000rpm. he tops the 12psi out at 6000rpm and runs it to 7400rpm like I was. Has a great curve that looks like a turbo. this option is what i was going to do and where he actually got the idea before I blew my engine. It can be done for pretty cheap on the Procharger kits and works great.
As for being worried about things going wrong. Shit happens you just build it better next time. Quit being such a girl, its just a car.

I hate wasting money on a car. I've been doing this so long now and made the mistakes. Now, I take my time, select my parts with research with my long term goal for the car in mind. Part of the goal is not to let it get it crazy racecar type out of hand. A car sitting at the shop for months on end is NOT fun at all. I HATE IT.
I admit it, it's funny everyone giving me a hard time about modding so slow. lol

Im just busting your balls. i hate my car being down for months and still not being perfect but I deal with it. Ive built many racecars and this electronic crap is pissing me off for a modern car. I roadrace so its more about knowning how to drive and have the equipment to let you push the limits, I dont see it as wasting money unless Im not getting a good ROI for the effort and capitol invested. I dont see my car as a waste yet due to the fact that it put me in highly competitive racing classes with very good drivers that I can truly learn from. if I would have stopped modding awhile ago then I wouldnt be able to push myself to become a better driver. Besides Its only a waste if you dont have the money to do it to begin with.
And if it wasnt for stock 5.0's then what would use little 3.7 guys be able to hang with.... were also slow remember.

What i mean by wasting money is by just throwing parts at a car without any plan in mind . Ended up buying parts two and three times changing combos too much. I dont mean the hobby is a waste on the whole. Hopefully you didnt take it that way.

Waste of money

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

That is how I took it but I see what you are saying now in your comment. I have bought many parts two and three times when building a car, this car also, even though I had a plan starting out. My issue has been that we, the 3.7 guys, dont have a strong aftermarket to build from so believe it or not I, personally, have been working with companies, MMR, BBR, CFM, Hellion, Manley, ARP, multiple individuals and even True Street to get parts built for the 3.7 platform. And Im not even close to being finished yet. Its already hard to go fast but its even harder and 3x as costly to be the first one to go fast on a new platform, being the 3.7L. Im already planning on changing my suspention for the third time on my car in two years just to keep up with other upgrades and new products that better fit my driving and personal taste, along with new class requirements and deregulations. Again I dont see it as a waste due to my percieved ROI for my pursuit. I have had alot of guys look at me with blank faces and start questioning what all is actually done to my car when I tell them how much it has cost me to get it where it is but I can also say I have the highest HP and fastest 3.7 in the country and have for the last 1.5 years (Thank you very much to True Street for that rite to say). I guess bragging rights are still good enough even if I wasnt dedicated to the roadcourse. lol
I can respect the idea of not modding a beautiful car but it still seems like an alien thought to me.

Oh, make no mistake I have every intention of modifying this car to the performance level I've come to expect from my cars. I just have to do so carefully and planning it. With a wife and kids, I can't be buying parts two and three times. I also have to shop for the best deals I can get.
