    so me and a few buddies went to the local 1/4 mile track last night and what i saw there was a sad sad sight, silver nsrt. he was runnin 14.7 and trapping 103mph. so i flagged him down and asked what he had done to the car. he popped the hood and i am still sickend by what i found. he swore up and down that he bought it this way. no cat, ebay wga. and NO BOV just a block off plate. stock intake, stock ic pipes and he was running 21psi. i about slapped him. the car when he went down the track would make the bloff off sound and back fire like a bitch, but i am assuming the sound was coming out of a poorly sealed block off plate. that air needs somewhere to go somewhere, can u say compressor surge, so i told him to stop running it and find someone with a stock bov for now or if he had the money to get aftermarket. i also to him to get on here for more advice. we will see if he does. -zack

    i just cant believe how bad of a hack jobs that some people do to these cars

    I bet there was no gasket on the BOP and it was venting out of that. That is sooo messed up though. Poor skittle.

    lol I bet that shaft is looser than a 2 dollar hooker.


    I bet the BOP is sealed otherwise he wouldn't be making that kind of boost.
