Holy **** thats an awesome setup! Thats a mega motor but wrapped in such a humble and subtle car, I love that combination. Great color car and it looks amazing on those wheels, like its ready for some trackschools and canyon carving but it wont throw up any redflags to law enforcement on the street.

Glad to see something like this come along, were the Samberg parts all easy to use and fit well?

The kit is available and ready for sale. He makes a completely new Kmember just like the kit for the FD RX-7.

He also made the s/s headers. Everything is on a jig. Top notch sh*t.

some other vid I found. The car is silly quiet but certainly not stock.. It made 600rwhp with the larger cam when we went 196mph at the TX in his FD RX-7 with the 440. The smaller cam gives up something like 60rwhp.....

Ok Mark a few updates on the car. I took my car to the track and made one pass, left easy off the line and shifted just over 6,000 for a shake down pass. Car went 11.0@130 mph. should run faster next time, I might need to put on drag radials on the car to run better times.

I took my car to Mojave Mile the next week and went 186 mph. I ran the Mojave mile without the splitter.
