What's been done to it? How heavy? Gears? Trans? What are you doing with the car?

Ive got one for sale that I would let go cheap. I can get the #s for you if you're interested, but it's very similar to the GM hot cam. wasn't enough for what I wanted with my lq4 so I went bigger.

Do you have more info on your setup? Lq4, heads, intake, headers, auto or manual, etc.

Very nice numbers, are you happy with your cam choice? I'm looking at something right around a 226/230 for my stock headed lq4 with bolt-ons.

I was actaully surprised on what it put down. I built the car to drift/road race so its more than enough power. If i were to up the compression/valve job I would like to go bigger.
