Dude!! Awesome ride. What kind of power does a setup like this make anyways? What are some of the next steps you can/will/should do to it?

That thing looks fun. Should be a blast to autox or cruise in.

I want to take a ride in it, so that it can rip my face off.

I don't know, I kind of like my face attached. I will pass on riding in said face-ripping machine.

I want that feeling of being harnessed down and my insides pushing against my bones from the forces of the turns and intense braking.

Awesome pick up! You always seem to build/buy really cool project cars

Nice car man! Glad you finally found one! How do you like it so far?

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I really like driving it so far, but I haven't even come close to pushing it yet, both straightline and in the corners. I really like the manual steering rack, so responsive.

For power, these made something like 180-190 at the wheels stock. It has a smaller pulley, tune, and some other small stuff and is probably making in the 240whp range. I would like to get this up close to 300whp (max recommended on stock motor/trans) but will need a bigger intercooler and even smaller boost pulley. Also the roof scoop doesn't provide much airflow, so new intercooler ducting from the side vents will be necessary. Maybe this winter.
