Eric's car is running. He was having a racepak dash installed on Saturday when I went by the shop. My car is a small budget build compared to his lol. We just have similar looking cars. Doug is my name.

I made 887 on my 408 and this F1R on 19 lbs. This was just a street tune and then later I put it on a dyno for 2 pulls. No tuning done on the dyno. So there could have been more in it. I have seen some cars make 1000 with a F1R's but its just not as common. I would be very happy to make 950 or 1000 with it. Probably will also depend on how aggressive with the tune we get.

All good man. Eric's car and my car look very similar, being built by the same shop, close to the same time but I just don't have the budget he does lol. Saturday when I went by the shop every car Bret is working on was silver. It was 5 or 6 cars and they were all silver.

The bigger motor and especially heads will make the f1r even more insufficient in my opinion. May make more low rpm, but going to run out of steam early in rpms

Some more pics of progress. Bret built some shrouds to enclose and direct air flow. Nothing wrong with more air moving through the intercooler, radiator and condenser. There is also shrouding around the oil cooler but its in the wheel well.

Got a few more pics of all the work and everything installed back in. The nose was trimmed underneath and even though the cut is not straight it is trued up with the sheet metal work. Also shows some of the sheet metal work on the driver's side for the oil cooler, new air dam and sealing things up to make sure the air goes where we want it and not just the least path of resistance.
