Message Looks like everything is PERFECT with the motor. Did a leakdown, less then 8% when cold, no intake track leaks, everything is perfect. I was thrilled. With all the mods I have I believe I won a N2O sponsorship, right now I cannot mention the company name until everything is final but it looks good. If all goes well I will have a TPS based N2O kit switchable to TPS, Instant On, or Timed, I plan on running 100 shot.

If anyone needs engine work in the Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area or even Orlando and is looking for a kick ass shop that does GREAT work and pays attention to every detail I highly recommend D'Elegance in Largo, FL. I think Shawn just got a clutch installed there and maybe some more work to come. BTW, Shawn, your a sick pup on that clutch, you should have got the one I got, it's not so harsh, I couldn't believe you got that dual disc, whoa, MEGA expensive but it should hold like 1000hp! hehe...

My hat goes off to Ralph and Jack at D'Elegance for building me a kick ass engine. With the new turbo housings and such I will expect close to 600 to the wheels before the end of the year, I can't wait.

The bad news is as follows: I was running rich as hell, didn't know why, well, it's those damn Denso plugs. They are almost 1/2" shorter then the correct NGK plugs. They barely made it into the cylinder head to ignite the fuel. If anyone is considering these, I would recommend that you DONT, they are expensive and do not work well in our cars. I would suspect a substantial HP increase in just replacing the plugs.

If it sounds like a lawnmower, it's most likely a Honduh.
