Wow great build! These holset builds just keep popping up all over the place. I kinda wish I would have just found another hx40 and went even faster. :) I need to start a thread on my build for this year. It should be pretty fun! Hope to see this beast up and running and possibly see this thing at the shootout! Hopefully I will be able to bring my car there this year as well.
