It just seems to me like I read about a lot of garage queens that only come out to play on Saturday.

^ Nice, glad to hear you're happier with the GTM kit, btw. I was out of touch with the forums for a while and you were sort of between kits last I looked.

I don't even like to drive my G when it rains in Vegas.

Honestly, what ever that's safe for the stock VQ without having to do internal work or ending up with a unreliable or broken drivetrain.

The install took a weekend for me.
This is awesome to know! I saw your build too. Great work. How is everything working out? Any issues? Even if you have driven it hard?

400whp is pretty safe and the stage 1 can achieve those levels no problem but of course still get the stage 2 and run a conservative tune

I drive my G everywhere and its daily driven as long as its not winter here in Canada. I wouldn't ever want to change that. Definitely looking to have a well built reliable FI daily driven car to withstand whatever weather. I'm sure the guys here with FI cars want their G's to be reliable even if they're driven only on sunny days.

GTM Stage2 SC with conservative tune sounds like a good plan.

trust me! You will be happy with this kit. I am sure! From the sleeper looks to the sound That almost sounds like a blow off valve to a jet plane cruising down the street. IT'll put a smile on your face every time you step on it especially when the car next to you wondering wtf is that noise haha.

I can see you're a little worried about problems. More or less there's always gonna be some. Just depends how big or small that's all. For me I was having some oils leaks and bypass valve fluttering but now it's all fixed by me and It's no big deal at all.

Nah it's like 8,000 away right now. I'm on uh... shall we say a forced vacation to an undisclosed location courtesy of Uncle Sam. Not really. I'm somewhere in the Asia region at the moment.

Seriously though when I get back I'm probably moving to VA. I'm probably not going to have time to stop by and go for a drive when I get back. I'm pretty torn between supercharging and turbocharging though. I have the means to do either, and know the differences, I just don't know what I truly want.
