Right now with SC filter it's sitting in the mid to high 500s. I did the SI impeller and bearings and the car should make around low 700s without filter but idk yet I might just upgrade to a V7JT setup at this point since I'm running a forged bottom end setup. Hang on lemme see how to post this stuff. Unfortunately this interface kind of sucks at posting photos.

Forged Pistons installed

Carrillo Pro H-Beam Forged Connecting Rods with Upgraded Bolts and WPC Treatment mated to CP 9:1 compression forged pistons.

2-tone Espresso and White Leather with French Racing Blue Double Diamond Cross Stitching

Back Seats upholstered

Pictures do tell a better story!

As far as the blower goes, sadly for you a couple of kits came out after yours that are much more efficient than the one you have however if you ever decide to upgrade after selling yours it shouldnt bee so much out of pocket.

You have my vote on the front bumper - has that TOP SECRET (brand) look and flows well with the car!

Unfortunately low ballers are the only thing in existence. The most I got offered was 1k for the entire kit. Kind of sad people are this dense when it comes to this kind of stuff. Idk. I'm not willing to sell it for less than 4 grand. To me, I'm getting ripped off at that point. As for the rest of the car, aesthetically, the leather and paint job have been well-received. The bumper is not Top Secret (far from it). It's a one-off from AIT. Top Secret is very different.

The sale of the charger is just a matter of the right exposure. I've seen a couple selling for $3k + halfway put together.
I figure with the right pictures/videos all cleaned up and pretty will yield what you want however most wont even nibble if it's still on the car.
Granted this wont filter the low ballers however it will send the right buyer to you.

Thanks. It's nice to see someone finally give feedback on the color lol. Lot of work doing a paint job and a leather upholstery alongside building a bottom end. Unfortunately the car doesn't get much love when I take it to meets. People are more interested in flame mappers with 45 degree camber stuff.

Yea I've come to the conclusion that the car community in general has devolved into children desperate for attention with flame mapping and negative cambering. It's basically cancer at this point. I don't understand what happened to keeping G's classy cars. Now days all I see is single exit exhausts angled with a flame map and everyone loses their panties over it. It looks like ***, sounds abhorrent, and doesn't do anything for the community except make cops more motivated to screw everyone over.
