Message I wanted to do a huge Maglito-style post, but given that we're leaving for Zcon tomorrow, it just isn't going to happen.

A table, rack, and floor full of parts...

Engine building 101....

Engine assembly begins...

Anyone notice a dude with a broken hand wrenching away? ;-)

and it drops...

The parts table getting smaller...

And it starts and runs...woohoo!

Then out for some body work: KurumaZ Zeta wing and moldings, both with flawless fitment. Custom inverted hood scoop SpeeedyZX style, and Jspec front fascia...



Bigger pic:

Sleeping at Starbucks during break-in

Baseline dyno at 11# to only 6000RPM (cams good to 7800RPM) showed 440RWHP with no tuning, and great response. No chart, but there you have it for now.

HUGE props to Rob at ZCG for bustling through this with me, long nights at the shop, weekends, days, breakfasts, Subway, etc. If we can unfuse the wheel bearing from the hub, we'll be ready to rock.

Additional props to Coz for parts, and SpecialtyZ for countless conversations on how to piece it together.

See y'all next week. ;-)
