I also custom painter certain parts of the motor...giving it a nice custom look!

Motor Mods:

Blitz Intake
Unorthodox Lightweight UD Pulley
ACT 6pcuk clutch 490ft.
Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel 9-10 lbs!

Interior:
TRD Short Shifter
Autometer bost Gauge
Autometer Air/Fuel Gauge
HKS Turbo Timer
Indiglo Gauges
2 10" Audibahn flames subs behind each seat power by a JBL BP300.1 (SLAMMZ, also a very nice massage)

Motor will be put it sometime by the end of June....thats if all goes good....should be taking it in this week....so wish me some luck!

The Spearco is a larger core than the Greddy, however its a bit more expensive... It's your call, you can't really go wrong with either. But with you're setup, the more affordable and readily available Greddy unit should be more than enough for you.

Yea i do like the greddy however, as of right now if all goes good...I'm looking at getting the spearco...such a nice intercooler. What other mods would you recommend to get good hp and tq. outta? I want the HKS 272 cams and fidanza cam gears?

O and are there any MR2 meets anywhere around Illinois?

I think its a bit too premature to start adding cams to your setup. A boost controller and a FCD (fuel cut defencer) is the first thing I would get if I were you. After that, a downpipe and exhaust system would be the next steps...

Read this 3SGTE power primer, then read it again...
