Looking forward to seeing this finally completed. Even though by the looks of it, I am sure it will be another year or so.

It was just for mock up so it didnt matter. The bigger issue is the mock up block that threw a rod through the number 8cyl lol.

Wow thats a killer ride sir. You may have already said this but what tires are those?

Also, why didnt you go with a bigger blower? Not saying its small or anything, but if youre planning on laying down 900, Id think one of the F-1 variants would be a bit more efficient in that range...
