Yeah, that mesh is stupid unless you're only going to be running it for like 13 seconds. You ever seen a turbo chew up a rock, and then pass it along to the engine? Those valves looked really fucked up afterwards. The 'rock' was about the size of a large grain of sand.
I know a lot of people who run mesh over their filters. My old civic was running low 9s with mesh and a few Zs are running 10s and a handful under 10s with mesh. It's an all out drag thing.
I don't know of a single person who runs mesh only on anything other then going down the drag strip.
Street + mesh = jackass
hit it with something.
I hit the #s I was aiming for on this dyno, the dyno used today is well known for reading really low, most people are able to put down 30+ more WHP on a normal dyno jet, at least all of the local guys I know who got tuned where I had mine done.
Hoping to get on another dyno before too long to conform 400/400, I should be just over that. Perfect power for a stock block, its just enough power to cause the tires to skip around yet not too much that I can't get grip. perfect for street use!
Engine is the weak link right now, everything else is ready for 600+whp although I'm not really pushing to make that since I want a fun usable street toy =)
Can't really put a price on it since I didn't do just the kit, however, the kit alone I believe was 6800
Some pictures from today.
After spending a day with the car having some reallll fun with it, I have to say, the car is perfect for me. It reminds me of when I first went from a Suzuki Bandit to a CBR super sport bike. People who ride know a good bike will go anywhere you look, in this cars case, it goes anywhere I look. I've had it sideways in 2nd gear and the car is super easy to control, it really does go anywhere you aim it.
Also last night I had really warm tires so they were gripping get, today I'm finding that I don't have as much traction, however, its super fun since the car still moves forward at a fast pace, even with the tires going crazy.
This car would make one hell of a drift car as it sits right now. It really is stupid simple to control.

I cringe whenever someone brushes shit against my paint, and my car is nothing special.
I doubt anyone is more anal then me. If I thought at any point they would mark it, I would have said get the F away, however, I didn't see it happening.
car has ZERO door dings and for the most part is spotless, even 5 years after buying it. Trust me, it will stay that way.
