No wonder FI is in. You can make a ton of power without sacrificing the driveability. It's just EXPENSIVE as hell to do it good and right. Beautiful cars by the way...lots of money in that lot.

Is this the car took home the Year One Cup? https://ls1tech.com/Events/YearOne20...s/IMG_1545.htm

What are the specs on this thing? Interesting looking intake manifold with the turbos hung and piped back in.
