Well I was just going through the many videos and decided to put some together for entertainment. This is my daily driver not some gutted race car so let me be clear on this . In the fwd eclipse I dyno 809whp @44psi. I havent dyno the car yet in the awd shell in fact for fear I have not turned the boost up to 44 psi yet. The most boost I have ran to date is 40 psi and having clutch issues, that may be fixed don't know until I test the car this week. The first video was a hellcat going down , same engine that is now in the awd. The second race a corvette zr1 with cams and spraying 50 shot his best 1/2 mile speed 170mph. The 3rd race a boosted mustang have no other details on the car other than the driver wanted to know if I was 4 cylinder? The fourth race also a boosted mustang that dynoed near 700whp the guys was very cool and we have become friends since that race. Why he was the one that located me so he can share the video, it was taken from inside his car!


I will keep making the videos and solving common dsm issues so that I am enjoying this car for a long time as a daily driver. The feeling of having something that I drive daily that can own the streets against some of the most high powered production cars on the market and 99% of any modded street car is a wonderful feeling, which means there is no feeling better than to drive the road with complete confidence I drive my car to every event and when the event is over I drive it home no matter the distance. The car average 290 to 300 miles to a tank of e-85, I have put a lot of time into tunning the cruise mode of my car which cannot be attained in a dyno session!!! Also the element of surprise when the race day is over when I put my street tires back on the car , turn up the sound system and drive 3 hrs home, is priceless and one of a kind. I am constantly ask "You drove the car here?" I say yes 3 hrs the head start to shake LOL! I keep hearing that something is eventually going to break at my power levels well when that time happens then I will have the car towed back home. I have read a lot I broke this and that thread and have taken measure to do something different in hopes of not being part of the statistics thus far all good!

its purely a daily driver that has a race car personality. It has full interior , a nice sound system 2 10" rockford fosgate p3s powered by a hifonics 2000 watts amp. its a wolf in sheep clothing. the fwd a several years ago took first place for cleanest mitsubishi. My whole goal was to build a car of this caliper, high powered and daily driven. here's the car idling it sound so innocent which creates the element of surprise when it is engaged also the sound system is playing LOL this was the fwd the awd will be sent to the paint shop as soon as the clutch is tested this week.

Thanks! When building these cars we have to have a purpose or a goal in mind before success is achieved without a purpose it all shooting from the hip and guesswork that will lead to frustration. I will continue to do what I do so as to give my contribution to the community!
