Those S85's are HUGE! I remember seeing one a couple years back in notch back, I was amazed that something like that could fit in a engine bay with a motor at the same time.

Thats my thought process for the 370 I'm building too...putting it in a heavier car though and looking for a little more power to match the weight.

I personaly like the Down Pipe. Its the perfect amount of exhaust for a turbo car.

worked on the car for a couple hours today, go the wiring harness back in the car. Most of its hooked back up doing my best to hide all the wires. got the other upper an lower control arms on an DA coilover.

Tomorrows to do list is to put the rack in pinion back in, finish up the wiring inside the engine bay.

Still need to find out where to locate the coil packs cant mount them on the cowl due to how tall the valve covers are
