There are teams that showed up to BIR and Iowa last year who had absolutely zero performance driving experience.

Our car survived dyno time at RS Motors today. All I can say is we are absolutely STOKED. This thing is going to rip. Ron had the car for about 6 hours and put a lot of work into it, fabbed us a new intake, modified the FPR so it has a set screw to help increase the fuel pressure because it was running pretty lean at first, adjusted the timing and now it's sitting pretty. He bent over backwards for us and had a bigger smile on his face while working on this car than our team combined. We are forever in debt to Ron. http://th146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/xyzero123/th_bow.gif

+1 on what Matt said, Ron did some great work, as for power goes, the HP line looks like this: / all the way to 7500 rpm redline... Winning! :P

That thing doesn't look so 'chumpy' these days! A resourceful crew.

It sure does in a crowd of BMWs.

those are actually really healthy numbers for a stock 16v 4A-GE... especially in an AW11 chassis where the intake snorkel is so obnoxiously long.

:banana:

Whatching the vid of the pull makes me giddy, cant wait to see how she runs a Road America.

What was great about the engine build is that it is using all stock toyota 4age internals, hone was done using mix of fat tire beer and tranny fuild with a $40 auto parts stone hone tool, and the only mod is the air intake and air filter. Hopefully it all stays together. Motor has zero miles on it, my guess is we gain a few hp once it frees up and we get the 9 month old gas out of the tank. ;)
