Not bad at all. But I kinda prefer the base bumper, it flowed with the sides and rear better to me....hmm.....still have it?
You know what buddy? I pushed and pushed for you to get this bumper, now that its on there, I kinda prefer the base model one! lol
Seems to line up with the sides better. Now if you were able to come accross a set of 03+ Z sides(Yes I say Z, I live in Canada!), then it would be perfect.
Looks nice. Good upgrade.
Seems like I just had this discussion about the sides lol. The Z sides and LSS (american) sides are the same height just have a different flow. I considered LSS sides, but then remember how much I used to hit them on my 04 and they won't be attached as well on the 01 as they were on the 04. I like the lss, still have the base so who knows...I might switch back and forth lol.

If I ever get off hpt yes. I will need HUGE injectors and a massive fuel pump. They don't have hi-imp injectors big enough to feed the need.

So how much boost is this thing running?
Currently at 15psi, letting things work a little bit before asking for 600whp. The max number will be 35psi, if I'm not limited by the amount of fuel I can get in there. If I can supply the fuel for 35psi, I'm going to run 35psi. Before Petey2 went on, my afr's were solid at 11.6-11.8 all the way 1st through 4th gear. For adjustments to the low boost tune all I had to do was add a little bit of fuel to get things corrected again. Hoping for the same kind of changes in order for high boost tune to work. I will be starting at my previous high boost of 25psi and working up. Normal driving has been affected slightly as well, so I've got corrections to make there, but that is minor, went from having mid to upper 14's normal to having upper 14's to low 15's. Keep in mind my car is 100% open loop. For me to have steady afr's takes some patience and a little acceptance of mediocrity. When I get close in the afr's for just cruising I typically let it alone. Unless she starts to miss and buck on me due to too lean I probably won't mess with the normal driving numbers.
My goal isn't to be the fastest, but the most powerful. Being fast on a dragstrip isn't super important to me, it only takes one lucky pass to get mid 10's with 600+whp. Hell I was running mid 12's and just rolling off the line. Most try hard to hit 12's...I can do it without launching and letting off at the 1000' mark and that was with a smaller turbo and less boost than I'm aiming for.
