Oops, forgot to mention, running the 8 PSI pulley. The kit came with a 10 PSI pulley but I wanted
to try to keep as much reliability as I can since I am less of a mechanic then Aashish.
Edit: Giles also lowered VTEC to 4000rpm and tuned it to run 93 octane.

I really like those "s2000" Branded calipers. Where did you get those?

They are not really "branded"...I had the calipers powdercoated and someone from s2ki at the time was
making the labels, I got a couple and stuck them on over the powdercoating.

and see all my albums. I just clicked on the album with the upgrades in it, copied the url
then clicked the "Insert link" button in the reply window and pasted the url in.
It took more effort to post the pictures themselves, I had to click on each picture in
the album, then click "share photo" on the right hand side and it starts a pop-up that
has the image url, I copied and pasted that using the "insert image" button.

Funny related story:
I think this was two years ago, after lunch at Knapp, I found myself behind Dave (Headchef), who is also boosted. During the drive, I'm rolling on the gas coming out of a corner, probably at about 6500 rpm in 2nd and the car is right in the powerband.
I hear this unholy sound and suddenly Dave has put a buslength on me. I thought I'd broken my car.
Then it dawned on me.
What I'd heard (and seen) was Dave finally romping on it for the first time. My car wasn't broken, he'd just made me look like I was standing still.
Later, after the parade laps, I was relating this story to him, and whoever was in front of Dave (I can't remember who it was), heard the story and chimed in. He had been coming out of the corner, with Dave a few carlengths behind, and the next thing he knows Dave is right on his bumper.
I think he shocked both of us with that one
