Congrats on those impressive numbers!

Jan, get to work on your suspension system so Longboard can test one out.

Yes the TQ is very impressive and you have it everywhere. Definitely some usable grunt. I bet you are smiling a bit more now when you are driving that beast.

I am sure that what has transpired this weekend was not the final step on this project. BTW, which one should I be drooling over, is it the C30-74, seems like about the right size for a 1.6 or 1.8L? Also, there seems to be an array of pulley sizes available, have you determined that what you have now is enough/optimal? I am guessing you just use one of the Rotrex pulleys and leave 2 grooves empty.

Anyway, again I'll say this is an awesome build and thanks for sharing it with us. I am saving up! I could really appreciate a more quiet, smooth, cool, and efficient SC. What's not to love?

Jan's suck a di(k!

My car is not 3000lb's. I would bet it's lighter then it was when stock.

Heavy or light I would still smoke him for two reasons. First is mine runs . Second is I could out drive him in my sleep .

Although, this show is pretty good too!

Funny you should say that as Jan and I regularly get together to watch UFC fights. My wife hates it as we both yell at the screen like idiots.

We are both huge fan's. I get all the interesting inside news as well because I have a cage fighter who works for me that's in-the-know . Funny *****!

Well......

Not much up my sleeve. I'm going to add a second sprayer to my meth kit after talking to my meth guru. I want to play around with the exhaust. I have a couple ideas. Luckily I have the newer magnaflow back section which uses 2 1/4" piping. The middle is still 2 1/2" which is small for the power I'm putting out.

Other then that not much. I just want drive the thing and have fun.
