hks adj camgears/gates belt

this time sent it up to kent at speedsource for a tune,much better driveability from the tune,gone for more midrange power resulting in 200rwkw

I'm sorry. I will give my honest OPINION.

The bars in the bed (not that big of a deal) and the FMIC ruin that truck. I dont care about 292 forced induction horsepower. It looks like shit with the fmic coming THRU the bumper. I see RICE meets MINI....



Everything else is sweet. Even the use of an RB20, the most HATED engine in the 240s. I plan on using one in my HB. Excellent job on the engine work, just NOT feelin the fmic.

If it were <i>MY</i> truck, I'd get rid of the rollbar in the back of the bed, the tonneau cover, and remake it so it does'nt wrap around the bed but instead just stop on top like a normal cover.

I'd definitely try and get the intercooler behind the bumper somehow...

Other then that, I'm , LOL!

I'm AMAZED that the stock rear end can handle that much power still!

BTW, how big are the link bars and bushing ends? I don't necessarily like how the tabs on the link bars at the frame ends don't sandwich up to the bushing ends. I somehow think thats going to be bad when you have so much HP. As, well, are you bag on barring it or going the bridge route?
