My advice , is to MAKE SURE you can beat him, if you cant beat him dont start talking too big or your going to be the one who looks clueless. no offence , JMO.

Why not just race for fun, that way no matter who wins , no one is out 500 bucks, and no one walks away feeling butthurt.

Just to follow the recommended factory pattern for replacing the bolts, never hurts. Gonna put mine in prob a couple of weeks

Also watch how often you push that turbo. Im not saying dont ever run it over 35, but do it too much and you wont even be able to race him
