It is ruling the highways were I live I do like the kit that is for sure. It performs real nice and looks real nice. Nice to know it is such a rarity. Isn't there only four cars with the kit running?

Will do. Car has been running great so far 1k miles to date. Drives like it did with the H/C package until you mash it.

since getting car back I blew the d and d rebuilt tranny and had to put in a built T56 also blew two single disk clutches so now I am running a RPS twin disk and it holds like a mo fo. Now the ten bolt blew up and Midwest Chassis is current building me a fabed 9" rear with backbrace and tru trac along with a new driveshaft. Car should be pretty solid with the new rear. All this **** blew with just Toyo T1R street tires on 18's. I havn't even launched hard it making sick power. Kit is holding up great so far.

First 1500 miles was on a decent MAF tune then my FPR went out and it had to go back into the shop then Ken from HP tuner spent three days on a 2 bar SD tune and I picked up 80 rwhp which brought me to 700, but I never got the graph. Driveability is great with the new tune and it feels much stronger. The tranny went road testing the SD tune.

thanks guys! Yea I was stoked she got on TV. Now she is just waiting on Midwest Chassis for the fabed 9" the turbo blew out the tranny and rear in only 2000 soft street miles. Wasn't really planning on having to buy a tranny and rear so soon. Luckily I have a nice home equity line of credit.
