Pretty impressive, sure looks like it was done right.
Dyno numbers?
You running pump gas?
Engine pics?

Not much to dislike about pretty many any part on the entire car.
But out of curiousity, why do such a custom beauty and use cobra r wheels?
I think something a little less generic would really set it off and make the car near perfect visually.

We had it on the dyno once but were running out of fuel over 5000rpm, so in goes the boost-a-pump and it's back on the dyno today. Numbers were as follows, pulling out at 4800rpm. It should go to 6000rpm all day long so I expect more out of it.......

661rwhp
750rwtq
13psi
E85

I don't want it to make any more power than that. The trans will be mighty pissed off and it already has traction issues.

As for the rims, simple....I like them.

I so wish we could get e85 here in NJ.
I guess all the oil refineries and shipping ports would have a fit.

Awesome car!

Engine shots??

I love the seats. How hard to modify the brackets to make them work?

Gorgeous looking car, the only thing I'm not crazy about are the 1-piece headlights but everything else looks great. Would love to see some underhood shots.

very similar build to mine. Looking at the list of parts, I knew your fuel system was the limiting factor. When the cubic $ you've dropped into everything, you should consider a 3 pump setup, and I'm quite sure that motor is not going to sneeze at 1000 rwhp. I've pushed 762rwhp through my old TKO, before there were TKO 500s and TKO 600s. So you've still got a little room, there.

I made the 762 on pump gas. I would love to see you take advantage of the boost you can run on E85... 20 psi would a ton more power, but then again, that turbo might be used up before you get there.

Anyway, sick setup! For a street car, you don't need any more power, but it sure would be nice to take advantage of the engine you've built.

Awesome looking car, impressive numbers also. With that much hp I would have done a little more to the brakes. Otherwise that is one sweet ride!

Sounds like a lot of $$$ went into the engine combo. I would guess brakes are second on the list to that, although not to be completely overlooked of course.

Looks like a dream come true for the owner, and a nightmare for the guy in the next lane ! Like everyone says though, I'm surprised your brakes haven't melted down yet. Nice car though !

I love the headlights on it. Normally I wouldnt like those tail lights but it makes the car look unique and it DEFINITELY works on the car.

Those one-pieces don't fit in there very well do they? But besides that the car looks absolutely gorgeous. Love the S195 seats in it.
