    the car has dyno'd at 345 whp and 383 wtq, but, since I have had it, it hasn't been running optimally, there is a BIG falloff on the topend, until I get the tune figured out, I am only running the EWG spring boost, which is 10 psi. Even so, on this configuration the car went a best 1/4 of 13.0 @ 100, with a 1.621 short time, on bald RT615's(anyone who knows me knows how bald those tires were, as in there was no tread block left, nice even wear though) Everyone around here goes to the 1/8th mile where it cut a best of 8.3@80... like I said lots of topend falloff.

    I have rally x'd the car, and up until this last year was an avid auto x'r, I just don't have the time/money. I have another project I am working on that is taking my time/money.

    This car is tons of fun, even though it has been down more than up. I still love it.
