And the best part is, your car has a very subtle look to it. Should be a ton of fun, and quite a surprise to a lot of people if you can keep the exhaust note down!

I let 'er eat a little bit. I'm anxious to get 'er on the dyno especially for the torque number. She's pullin' hard in 5th gear from 2k rpm.

Nice car, it's the fast color too.

Any specific reason for the internal balance? I see a lot of guys that spin high do that, awesome way to get some more power out. Congrats man.

Nice setup May I suggest hood pins for the aftermarket hood You bever know when the hood might want to block your vision while your driving

The no BS reason? I made the mistake of telling the engie builder that I wasn't in a hurry. After much waiting and patience on my end he upgraded the internals and did an internal balance for nothing. It was worth the wait.

Thanks. The more I look at the hood the less I want to put pins in it.

BTW your car in particular helped make the decision to go wingless.

Glad I did.
