Default time for more power

Well I opened up my engine yesterday and found some scoring in the #2 cyl so its time to build the block. The car will probably not be done till next year as I have so much going on with the wedding and the new house. I plan on doing a wire tuck and repainting the whole engine bay over the summer and the block will be sent out to inline pro to be built. I will stick with the same turbo (for now) but I'm hoping to get every last ounce of useable power from it. I will post up some pics as the build takes place but no rides for me this summer. I hope to catch u guys at some of the events anyways.

Keep me updated once you get the block back and I am free we can put it all back together in a week . You will need some break in miles then I can get the G-MAn to work his magic

so i am going for broke this time and trying for the look i have always wanted. I am eliminating everything i can from the engine bay/car to create that clean shaved look. Tonight i removed all the heater hoses and heater core/blower. The car is in a million pieces right now but progress is being made. fun fun fun

Hey scott do you think you could do an abs tuck in the drivers side fender?

Derick you could just remove the abs . Its really not that hard at all . I dont think anyone has attempted to put the modulator behind the fender as its rather heavy . I suppose anything is possible with a large bank account like yours though ! . You would have to make custom lines either way .
