My car is officially done and back in business. This has been a very long and troubled 3 years and at last I can enjoy the car. I bought this car thinking I could do the work on it myself and it turned out to have so many more problems then I could handle. Since buying the car I've been through a blown motor, blown tranny, electrical issues, braking, wrong shop helping me etc.. Feeling frustrated months ago I dropped the car off at Realspeed with very simple instructions....fix everything and give it back to me done!!! Less paint. Unfortunately I have very limited talent when it comes to mechanics and these days I have more money then time. Business is good and kids are babies.

At the end of the day they did an awesome job this thing stops on a dime thanks to Baer, handles amazing, and has a sportsman block (not Dart) with a P1 Procharger pushing 511 hp & 463 Tq at the rear wheels. Oh and this has a 1000 cfm C&S built blow through.

The car is awesome in traffic and driving under 3k and an animal above.

Right now we are building a dart 363 with a YSI, no telling how long this set up will last but for now it rides amazing.

For the first time I had my kids in the car with the wife and took a nice long blast. Couldn't be happier today.

Hope everyone has a good Memerial Day, and remember why we celebrate!!
