Again the goals are to hit 450 HP on pump gas, and get a 10 second pass. Lets see what she does! Whatcha think?
 
Thanks guys! I should be doing a better job of hiding some wires when the car is back to being driven every day and I have the time to pick some things apart! I'll try and get a video of the dyno session as well to throw here!
 
Thanks guys! The tune is on 24 pounds. I am looking to get speed density and bigger injectors to make a little more on the DD tune. For all out track days, I am going to run an undetermined race fuel, but Im not the E85 type just because theres only a few pumps around me with it, and I forget to watch my gas needle too much haha. There will be a serious tune with some sort of race gas in the very near future!

Understandable(about e85), but none the less sick looking build!!
Good luck with it, and keep us updated!
;)
 
That's great man, good work. I'm trying to do something similar, as I'm sure many people are when it comes to taking a beat down DSM and turning it into a beast. And the best part is doing most of it on your own....you really get to know your car inside and out. And that is something you can't experience when just buying a built or new car. Keep it up man.
