Finished the prep work, primed everything, and paint laid down really well but i didn't have enough to paint the trunk. Oh well that's another days project.

Wtf huge snail, are you aiming for 500-600 HP?

KaiserRolls

This is awesome

SamHolzmann

Everything in the motor is built to withstand 700+ HP but i'm not sure when the clutch and fuel system will give in. Plan on starting with low boost to get a feeling for it and then upping it little by little till i'm happy with it.

SamHolzmann

9:1 compression JE pistons and eagle rods

Interior paint is 100% complete and the motor was fired up this weekend. Things are looking promising. 5 days till the car and i leave on the maiden voyage to automotion, I really need to get more high quality pictures instead of all these one off my cellphone.
