That 2.5l should make for a nice, torquey dyno plot!
Roger, your car runs...it just doesn't STAY running
I'm interested to see what kinda numbers it puts down too
On a side note, my brother is giving me a $100 online shopping spree, and I picked up some extra side money, I think I'm going to order up some 3" mufflers and pipe...make my own exhaust. I'm curious though, are any aftermarket exhausts made out of aluminum?? If not, why not?
If there's no good answer to this question, I may make my exhaust out of aluminum. Custom 3" dual...should be sweet

Wildcard, the SCCA guys don't seem to think that aluminum exhausts are such a good idea:

Why don't you just have an exhaust built the same as version's?

And its now official guys...out of by busted block I've now ordered my 2.5L Inline pro short-block...this will be my last mod for quite some time as it will take a while to pay it off. But hey, I should be at or near 240whp now!

stock compression ratio? If so then with an ems tuned you'll be at 240whp. I believe there was a member that made 240whp with the inlinepro 2.5l and ems. then he made 250ish with an exhaust added to it. Torque is going to be nice!
Man I hope you got higher compression. maybe soething like 12.1, I think this is a great streetable ratio for pump gas.

Edited: Wrong one! I don't have the 2.5L in my album currently and am at work. It was done at Inline. Heck, the above isn't even my final sc'd dyno. I'm missing several dyno plots.
