i was at 300 whp range when i last ran the car at the track in 2003. in 2002, w/ 10lbs of boost car made 220whp/240 tq and ran 13.7 @ 100. w/ the 300 range (15lbs), car ran 12.7 @ 110. will be more than that now. dont really care for dyno numbers. my main concern is et. I have my mind set on what type of et’s i wanna run. anything more than that is a bonus. Should be in the 500whp range all said and done going through an automatic drivetrain. maybe more, depends on how much i lean on the motor. friends think i will go quicker than what i have my mind set at. i dont care. as im going to build a rwd car for low et’s… this is the 1st car i ever owned and built. It is pretty much at the point of how i want it. so im ready to move on. been fucking w/ it since july of 1999 when i bought it. ---

new wideband o2 setup ordered today, crank finally goes out to get machined for the torque convertor. need to build a new manifold due to starter placement. so w/ that in mind, the 35r gets canned and a t4 based turbo goes on. getting a flexplate made to sfi specs. other than that, nothing new. may put a bmw e-30 dash in the car. ---
