This project has been years in the making, as I blew the stock engine after three years on a small setup (260whp) two years ago. The time since has been spent saving money and buying parts. As of right now, the car IS running but not tuned. I figured I would share my build with the gang in here and get some input on everything. Enjoy!

New vs old!












WPC treatment is amazing! Couldn't be run by a nicer guy.










Push-to-lock vacuum fittings for everything




The brains of the operation:




In the car!





As it currently sits:




Plenty of work left to do, but it runs and drives! Quite nicely I might add. Getting it tuned by Jei Chang at Blacktrax, hopefully in the next month or two.

Any input or comments are welcome!
