First thanks for the kind words about the car. There are a few other mods. besides the little M90. Off the top of my head, from front to back, I'll skip the obvious. First, I have been involved int the SCCA since 1970, so I have a long history in road racing, all of it in single seat formula cars mostly in FF and F2000, limited Atlantic cars when they were around. I did a track day with it a couple of years ago with an Eibach coil over set up and spun the car 3 times in a lap. I looked like a clown, but I'm so used to a car that weighs a 1000-1200lbs., it was a whole new world to say the least. Went home, thought it over and, here goes Affco dual fan intercooler, B302 bottom end 7200rpm., Samy Hale trick heads (local guy who does my race car heads, cams, long tubes, VMP tune and pulley, K member and adj. lower arms connected to Cortex 4 corner coil overs with Watts link, chrome moly cage, MGW, Wilwood 6 piston, Corbeau, and I know there's more including a little bling like the carbon fibre dash that I did on your rec. I used to kind of look down on the track day thing, but I got hooked, I just turned 69 and my racing days are probably limited, so when I'm not running a Crab boat here on the west coast and I get that need for speed this old pony fills the bill, and REAL cheap, compared to a weekend in a F2000 car.

I did forget the RST, and the driveshaft

If I could get another tenth out of it I would do it, I'm pretty happy with what I have but when 2015 rolls around who knows. If you heard the noise this thing makes, the last thing I need is more POP, where I live there are no cars like this and it draws a lot of attention, in So. Cal. nobody would notice.

Hm, I need one of those ducktail spoilers. They look pretty sweet and I'm kinda tired of my factory one.
