    vortech tuning

    i just got off the phone with Vortech and they said that it wasnt nessecary to get 42#s or a 255 pump. with a standard kit including the fmu, stock 19s,maf and fuel pump will be fine as long as i have the T-rex inline pump. but they recommended you can upgrade if your going to add more boost...

    small backfires at idle

    i never experienced that when i had my leak from the headers. if its on the passenger side, while the engine is running, spray some carb cleaner around the area to see if you have any leaks. if you hear the idle lower down, leak is there. it fixed my problem easily.
