This guy (President of Halltech, remember?) knows the fueling, timing and detonation issues... Why would anyone think something like this???

I like a couple of things about this kit...
First:
gravity return oiling no scavenge pump to fail.
Headers look badass (Need to be jot hot coated though)
Intercooler looks cool <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Questions still unanswered:
Will it melt stuff? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

fuel system configuration
tuning and injector size
How is the rest of the exhaust plumbed? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Cheers,
Chris

What are they running that car without a hood? With the exhaust manifolds and turbos on top that would melt the stock hood or bubble the paint atleast...But damn it looks sweet.
