Not mine but it's the best I've found that captures the sound.

Awesome build! Maybe I will see you around the suburbs sometime!

Bmac, amazing build. You convinced me to go ahead and get a set of SVE drifts for my car.

Thanks!

They're really, really hard to beat for a daily/street wheel. Looks great, inexpensive, good quality and reasonable weight.

I have reason to believe you may have gone above 45 on that stretch of road. Sounds good!

If 11-12lbs is worth $400 to you, the R357 is kinda similar, just flatter (at least imo) and wider sizes.

Oh if the R357 were available before, I'd have them now. They will very likely be my 19x11 square set when I do that.

I was running MRR M350 wheels at 19x10 for a year and a half, but got t-boned on the passenger a pillar and have had rubbing issues with 19x10 up front since then, even with 3 mm spacers. I was looking at 19x9 square with tsw bathurst or geneva but just couldn't justify the extra grand for 15-20 lbs when I don't track the car at all.

Ugh, ur killing me w all your awesome upgrades. I heard your ATAK and love it, now I need to see if someone locally will want my Solo. Lol.

I noticed you went to AED and the 18 manifold. I have Lund on 91 octane, PMAS. Is the 18 manifold worth it? Is the $180 or so to port it worth thee Xtra cost?

Assuming I would need to revise the tune.

I am loving the ATAK a lot. It's the best of the Corsa and the deeper, smoother systems combined. Perfect aggression. Like usual, the videos don't do it justice.

Yes, the 18 manifold is absolutely worth it. It is night and day different above 5000 rpm and pulls hard to 7500, while not losing anything down low. You'll need a tune update and you may consider adding 47 lb injectors while you're in there so you can run E85 without a hardware change. I'm not sure if the porting is worth it. Mine isn't. All I know is I put 423 whp down on 93. I'm very happy.

I saw your dyno chart... That's just nuts. Did you dyno when you were on Livernois. Was it same dyno?

I never dyno'd the livernois tune, but I'd just say they're not even close lol. Dr Norts went from Livernois to AED, no hardware changes, and was pretty blown away by it. I'd imagine that Lund would be the same.

The Lund has been good. I had some knock based on the charts (we have shitty 91 octane here), no e85 etc.. John looked at the charts and recommended running octane booster on track days.

He said otherwise I wont have an issue as the tune/ecu will pull timing and adjust.

Another reason why I wonder if I will see enough gains with a different manifold.
