Amazing pics and cars. At least some owners are putting those exotics to good use.

Had some o2 issues and still needed to adjust the valves. Got all that done over the weekend. Just waiting on final tune and we are good to go.

I hope you're going on 4-17..I'd love to see that thing run. I'm going to run street tires this time see how my mph picks up.

Nice. Update we put down 560/515 tonight on the dyno thru a tough dyno and a 9 inch. Little lower than I was looking for but the car feels really strong.

It was a dynojet but Nick's is know to be a good 10 low then other shops. I am sure with the 10 bolt and 17's on the rear on another dyno it would have been closer to 590's or atleat I would like to think so.

They need to hurry up and get some rubber down or they'll never be able to use it!
