W00t! Feel the power. Having master mechanic Aaron as a friend is awesome. We are going to owe him many beers.

btw, no you do not have to run premium (although I do on track, just because its a tough environment).

if you do start pinging, then yes you should run premium, but its likely due to some other issue which should be addressed. If you were to say...add a honda intake mani and a CAI, then you definitely need to get tuned, other wise you may go pop pop boom.

haha, it was serious, although I can't really confirm if you will need a tune. Mostly people have been running the hacked honda manifolds on turbo cars.

I wonder if that will give any gains on an N/A build along with a slightly bored out TB & good intake tract (of course tuned w/ ms)

Ahh man Track, now everyone is going to be using the hackinhonda manifold. There goes my uniqueness. I just declared last night that that is what I was thinking to do this summer.

yes, but I thought he was trying to get Begi to make them and they only did a one off or something. I remember the thread on MT. Curly has one of the Brain Designs, I believe.
