The air diverter is pretty awesome, I have it on my car right now (and pics in that thread)

Only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it's two piece. But then again, that made installing it a hell of a lot easier...

From what I gather around this forum, the Progress springs/sways are pretty good.

OK,

From my understanding its going to be 645 for the pulleys, sways and springs and the GTSPEC 1 peice air divider.

EDIT:

Decided to hold off on the springs and sways due to some bills i gotta pay but im still going to get the pulleys and air divider so someone better help me install it.

The pulleys should be no problem, just a little elbow grease and attention there.

The one piece diverter is a little tricky. I don't know if you are supposed to remove the hood latch (which shouldn't be a problem), but otherwise it's very difficult to wiggle the diverter in there.

NJ Turnpike for me... You could easily do 80 for hours. I literally was doing 110 for at least 15 minutes coming back from the NJ Motorsports Park.

Mind you, I haven't installed pulleys yet. I was reading up on the install because I was going to get a set of AP pulleys, but I ran out of budget lol.

You don't have to redline 4th.

It's 2nd and 3rd to redline. The fuel map for 3rd and 4th gear are exactly the same so no need to risk it since you will hit the same AFR target doing 65mph in 3rd or 90mph in 4th.
