car looks great! I have that same intercooler on my FB. It fits very nice and it retained all the AC stuff. What is your best ET and mph? How much boost and RWHP are you making?

Looks nice. I haven't had a chance to see the vids but the pics are sweet. What's with the hood? The guy's head looks weird, am I not looking at it right?

Which makes perfect sense. They are sacrificing safety either way. lol

My most recent best time was a 10.86 at 124 with a 1.4 60ft. That was at 13/14 psi... I will be turning it up for this weekend at Pan Ams.. Not sure on the HP???

my guess on the power is around 360-375 RWHP at that boost level. That 60 ft is great! What rear end and gearing are you running and also tires?
