Whew its been awhile but I finally got it out to a test and tune (AKA: drift event).
I went out to take it easy, being the first time I've driven the car with this engine, the limited tune, the unproven suspension etc etc but as always the red mist took over and it wasn't long before I was chasing drift cars and spinning it off into the gravel. It was 30 degrees and the Hoosiers were rock cold but the wow is this thing scary powerful. I can't wait to get it out on a real track.


A buddy of mine made a quick video of the run.

Finally... I was starting to wonder what had happened to you and the car. Can't wait to see how it does at VIR. Thanks for the update.
