You must have one built on a Tuesday then I guess I'm a bit against them just as I had so many issues, but some guys do have good luck (although as we all know an equal amount have bad). I too was using a Profec. I really think it was an issue of just asking too much of the things for me.

I'd personally sell the Expreme, and go back to stock with the wastegate welded on, and have it all extrude honed...you'd make out even and have the better manifold then as well. I'd be afraid of the Expreme cracking with the additional modification and weight hanging on it (as they crack as it is).

You won't need clocking plates, but you will need to fab a way to keep the flapper shut (tack welding the back side of it, or fabbing a bar to keep it shut like the Suby guys do.

And JWT S3 cams are the only way to fly if you want to make power, and retain OEM reliability.
