As you can see the car has changed color and last year's battle dents have been taken care of. Next step is a sick matte gray wrapped carried out by Rolotech. Here one of our super light Seibon doors getting wrapped, rivets and all (yes the doors have been through the ringer and needed to be riveted to not delaminate and mostly the car is done with hard work and not with any big budget). In other words, no money available for body panels.

Vinyl on the hood... and a tribute to the dream project started by a friend of the team who had a big heart and he did a lot for me and I hope I was able to help him achieve and develop some of his driving dreams as well during the years we drove and hung out with a small group of close car friends. He was a huge inspirer to us and many millions of car lovers, that is Mr. Paul Walker's #ReachOutWorldWide logo. If you want to support a charity, this is a great way to help people in real need, right when they need it.

So this happened when we put it on the dyno. The guys just laughed, thought it was really cool.
The GTX4088R with twinscroll config and the S-Empire equal length tubing, with E85 and very safe timing actually produced way more power than we had anticipated. That's a pretty happy surprise. We actually had to backpedal and settle down at 8 psi of boost with literally not even starting to push the timing bc anything else seemed like it would be not necessary anyway at this point and that gives us less risk on the stock internals LS2 block than to take too much hp from it right now. At 8 psi and super soft timing still a serious and 685 rwhp (or 830hp crank if you calculate the drivetrain losses). Can't wait until we have some forged internals and push it up to 12-14-16 psi and mix in a bit of timing as well...
