Im not sure if this was mentioned in the previous 19 pages ( ) but I was reading about a very similar build on hondatech with an ls2. The car made like 545ish whp and 630 torque . This should make a ridiculous straight line car. Make sure you have plenty of tarrs on the back lol

Well I am at the track right now and she is running pretty damn good. No issues as of yet and she seems to handle a lot like my stock S. I hit about 130 on the front straight and have take some 80+mph corners and it feels good. I also had the car weighed with me in it real quick and she came in at 2910 so if I take me out she should be around 2750-2760 I will be weighing her again tomorrow with me out of the car to get a better corner balance and more accurate weight so I will post that up along with a scanned copy of my weight slip and hopefully some more track pics.

had the car weighed with me in it real quick and she came in at 2910 so if I take me out she should be around 2765 which is 51 lbs heavier than my buddies stock S that came in at 2714 and the front / rear balance was still close to 50/50 with stock shocks LF 736, RF 751, LR 784, RR 693 but this all could be better with some coilovers, this is also with me in the car.

Well here is a partial video from my trackday its only 9 minutes of a 20 minute stint, sorry for the wind noise but you can hear the motor at the very begining. (and yes we were only allowed to pass on the front straight. Not to bad for her first time out, by the way I was short shifting and not taking her to redline this time out.

IMO, man, just too boring. I stopped after 2 minutes. You need to get some "classified" shots going of action, etc. Thats just not cutting it.....atleast for me. Try to get some doughnuts and what-not in there....we need action! That thing is a beast, show it!
