Default turbo motor tranny fuel rebuild almost done

It will be 8 weeks tomorrow. But it's possible car will actually fire up this weekend and hopefully a dynotune the nextweek, followed asap by a track run. Pics taken today so not quite ready yet. Think I have the cleanest engine bay though right now.

seems like it will be a monster.

just like theChristopher Walken on SNL "more cowbell. GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL"
that's what I was thinking when I saw your gauges.

very interested in the streetability with this build
Agreed. The build takes into consideration that although car has to retain (for the moment) daily driveability, the trips are very very short. By just sheer fluke, my driveway is 0.6 miles from work and through a 25 mphresidential zone. In fact, I went to work on my bicycle yesterday.It stays garaged the weekend (except for a couple of local car shows). Longest drive is likely to be the 50 miles or so to the track (all country). Also I don't street race, so street tune will likely be conservative on the 11 lbs spring. Maybe in the 550 rwhp range???

seeing what times you pull at the track
If the car gets anywhere close to the target rwhp on C16, you'll see all the track times, but I won't be the driver. Too old and inexperienced.
