  12. 6th gen throttlebody assembly on '01 5th gen engine 19 Nov 2010 17:00 The bore spacing is identical. Other than doing it for the sake of doing it, I don't see any benefit performance wise. Keep in mind that the newer injectors (with fine multi-hole diffuser plates) get gummed up a lot…

  40. Another Inverted Fork Conversion (6th Gen) 16 Jun 2010 20:33 Yep, I've been down that road as well. There is a reason why my kits do not run a front mount intercooler or standard style oil cooler. It would be possible with a multi-piece, custom radiator setup, but not at a…

  45. Give Your 5th-gen A Boost... 29 May 2010 02:15 magicman If only there were another 9hp to be found... Then you would have doubled the stock output! What's really amazing here is we're only pushing about 10psi (without an intercooler) when in general with these…
