well i made my first 100 mile round trip with the car. drives beautifully and hauls ***. thing is a blast on the street, just instantly spools and takes off. hooks decent with my 345 mickeys.. car sounds totally different aswel, all you hear are turbos. went for a few cruises with some friends and they were saying it just whistles the entire time your driving, its amazing.... lol
my next thing on the list is figuring out how to fit a oil cooler then it should be set for awhile.

went for a quick ride. car is so much fun, hooks great and pulls strong and hard. the last clip in the vid is just driving normal around town with the cutouts closed, has amazing street manors and its so quiet. the pulls in the beginning of vid are cutouts open.

well i picked up the old motor from the builder. he was true to his word and stuck by his work. the engine is now fixed and didn't need nearly the work any of us thought it did. a few new valves, all new guides and valve seals. new head gaskets, new timing chain and it should be good for its new owner... now to try and sell it.

yea, I'm thankful he stuck by his work and took care of me. he even admitted fault etc. very hard to find honest people these days thats for sure.
car is doing great right now, its been tearing the streets up around here. so far I'm undefeated lol... nothing has even come close.
the car dead hooks 60's in 2nd with it being in the upper 30's temp wise at night. the car is just an animal. it just spools instantly, doesn't need break boost so it hits HARD of the hit... its surprised a lot of people I've taken for rides.

That's awesome on both the builder fixing it and the fun you're having

That's good to hear, our cars probably have a similar powerband (edit I forgot you have a larger engine now). I need tires bad as mine sucks on the street, but I'll wait till next year so they don't sit around over winter.

Plan is go go to the track on the 26th. I don't plan on launching the car, I just want to go have some fun and can and idea of trap speed. should be a good time, bunch of my buddy's are going, ctsv, a fast Subaru, built/boosted 300c, and a bunch of others. Doesn't include the others I don't know. It's a rental so tech shouldn't be bad.
Against a built cobra with a 2.9 blower 22psi and e85.
Gtr stock motor, 3076 turbos 21psi, full bolt ons and e85.
