Is anyone running this set up. i am thinking about ordering it tomorrow and just seeing what you all have to say. yes i am ordering a new clutch as well and some more gages for when i takes the banks out. if you know anyone i have two banks boxes for sale, i need to sell them quickly. thanks for the input.

Thats what setup I have, very happy with it. It will put a manual transmission rig over 400 horsepower but you can turn it off when you want. I drive around town mostly with the box off or on 1x5 and it makes the truck feel plenty quick. 5x5 makes a pretty good sized cloud for the times when ya need some smoke. I've yet to really run the snot out of it because to me its scary fast. Hopefully going to PIR next weekend and get some 1/4 mile times. Oo.

I saw on the site that you have in you sig that you are running a hx 35 with a 12 housing on it. i am wondering if you are still running that set up and if you are what kind of temps you are seeing. i know yours is not a ETH so you r are lower than mine anyway but i am just curious. thanks

Right now I'm running a borrowed hx35/12 thats non wastegated hopefully mine will get back from Piers this week and its a wastegated 12. EGT's get hot on 5x5. I can peg my pyro at 1600 from a dead stop in about a quarter mile, but I rarely need to get in it that long for any reason so for me temps are not a problem for me. Rolling from 70-100 and going WOT wont get above 1200. But it does cool off fast. Cruising anywhere from 55-75mph EGTs range from 600-800 on any UFM setting. I wanted to stay with the smaller housing because of the auto, but if I had a manual I'd get the 14cm2 housing to help EGTs. Also I dont tow so I'm not sure what effect that would have on temps.
