Still up for that SoCal Meet? I'd love to see your car in person. The set up looks amazing. The GE block is built to perform so I'm not too surprised that it's running so well with a turbo kit installed.
Nice set up:

thanks again for all the comments.
I just received the B&M-70264 tranny cooler kit- only $58 shipped from Summit, and it arrived in ONE day

I'll prob install this within the next couple weeks, just to keep things cool and to be on the safer side. Let me know what you guys think.

Have u seen "Starsky and Hutch"?
Just like Ben Stiller says... DO IT, cmon, DO IT
Believe it or not, I get 30mpg on the highway now (compared to 26mpg before)
I guess the removal of both cats, larger piping, and a more free flowing intake/exhaust helped a bit too. Is it normal to get BETTER gas mileage with a turbo kit installed?

You get better gas mileage? Usually installing a turbo kit will decrease fuel efficiency. Maybe it's because you didn't change the injectors? I'm really just guessing i'm not sure...
