| Thanks to several of our customers with large budgets, we've had the opportunity to build some really nice cars lately that no one really knows about. I figured I would share what we are doing with some of the different set-ups and let everyone know what kind of results they produce in terms of power, torque, and response when its time for them to be tuned. We have quite a few of these builds going on here right now so I'll try to post info on one every week or so. I'll start with a car that should enter an ultimate street car challenge. We've addressed suspension, brakes, powerplant, driveline, all with top notch components. 
Its a twin turbo conversion gone mad from the start. The car is intended to be very streetable and responsive but capable of massive power. All amenties are maintained, AC, pws, etc, even using our new design of tubular manifolds. Tons of new OEM parts, hoses, harness, etc. and a mod list we are performing that frightens the most exotic cars on the road.

Michelin Pilot Sport Tires and much more! We are breaking the car in now and will be tuning it in the next couple weeks. We won't be going for peak #'s but just a safe responsive tune that will insure years of enjoyment.
I'll post some charts and experiences when we get done. Between the responsiveness of our 675RS turbos with our manifolds and the NOS this car should be a kick in the pants. During the initial driving the turbos seem to be beginning to spool even earlier than we expected. Here is a link to the image gallery: La-Z-Link More to come!
