    Woohh! I hope this thing can kick some F10 M5 ass when it's done. That would be awesome. Any idea on horsepower goals? If previously stated I need a refresher.

      My initial goal is 600whp.  I feel this is attainable becasue SC guys have made this with a stock engine, and I don't have an SC to turn.

      Once the stock engine is maxed out (or blown up), I will be building a forged engine.  This will have a goal on 1000whp, but that may be a fantasy that never comes to light for various reasons.

                  What are your plans for the manifold/exhaust?  Are you going to incorporate your current exhaust into the build?  

                  This will be epic.

                    The manifolds are a bit R&D yet.  I am waiting for delivery of a set of Evolve Long tube headers.  I'm hoping to turn these into turbo manifolds.  At worst we will use them to make custom fixtures, as I already have Stainless flanges made.

                    I plan to use most of my current exhaust since it is all custom from the stock manifolds back.  Unless the turbos move things around too much, then we will be re making that all again.

                                  No, the stock setup is a slave cylinder with a rod that moves a fork like a typical trans.

                                  Details:

                                  VAC clutch, Tilton components, not very expensive, super long lead time.

                                    Unf, that is beautiful. I need to get a good clutch setup for my bronze car. =\ I want quick revving, light weight, but not too-lightweight to where it's performance robbing.

                                        Hopefully the clutch wont make much noise.
