rides like a race car. Kinda rough, especially over bumps. But, I didn't build it for luxury factor. I suppose I could dial down the shocks and make it mushy, but thats no fun.

Jack, intake seems to work fine. 506 rwhp and 501 ft-lbs as a baseline. I've got a fuel system issue to work out, then we can re-tune it. 506 rwhp was only at 5500 rpm.

Cool. What would something like that cost for the average consumer that doesn't have a hook up?

Richie, the sign cost me $180. He even designed it, I just provided him info on what it needed to have on it. The sign itself is plexiglass, with a red vinyl decal background. There is alot of labor involved in it, as all the letters have to be picked (o,p,b,0,r,q,d,a, etc...)

Brandon, it typically takes 3-4 months for a feature to show up in a mag after a shoot.
