I took it to a local shop in Warner Robins, Ga to fix the head gasket and upon reassembly I received the car and 400miles and a Dyno pull later my engine died of oil starvation. I then started negotiations with Phil Grabow at Element Tuning (While I was deployed), and he helped me pick all the right parts for the direction I wanted to go with this car. He has great customer service and constantly keep me in the loop via e-mail. I recently returned from my deployment and headed back up to MD and we put it on the dyno. I was extremely stoked about the power output on pump gas! The direction of this car is to be a full TTU/S car and I aim to be competitive here in the Southeast Region NASA. Here is a sample of what the car can do: The car did 1:43:6 around Road ATL...Check it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ8cB8CEwwM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHX0hFrdlTM Thanks Phil, and Steve! Also, special thanks to James Mulherin and Fred Henson!!!
Cool car, TTS is pretty competitive, you are going to need to get those times down by at least 6 seconds to even be close. When you fill out your tech form make sure you get dyno numbers from somewhere besides Phils dyno it reads way high and will put you in a class you won't be competitive in.

Nice car... were you up at Road Atlanta this weekend? I am pretty sure I saw you. I was in a white E92 M3 ~Cicio
Car looks great and all, but I guess ill be the first to.ask.what happened to the power top end? With those cams, you should have head work and it should raise that drastically. Especially if you're racing and what not, that needs to be fixed
Funny i just thought the same thing. That puppy lost some steam rather quick there in the higher RPM's. Torque is usually what drops up high but horsepower should keep pulling or at least plateau toward redline. Hmmm
