Yes it does, It looks like it has better front flow with the vented fenders and hood, defiantly would drive the GP people nuts with the front clip on the car.

DO TELL!!!!!!!

Is this a new product in the works?????????

About how much power does it make!!!!!!!

Availability????????
I must agree. The next BIG thing.... The Segway was incredible, however........

When "this" becomes available, just hhink about the number of people these could be gifted to..... The suprise & amazement = "PRICELESS"

A 400hp Mini is amazing enough... then there's a bonus..... How does he do it???

hard to find here where I live. About 50miles away to get a tank full.

that's why pump gas and meth will be the fuel of choice and some race gas on the track

I'm thinking of an E85 tune, and running water/meth for cooling purposes.

Back to the subject, did you get the car running? How hard was it to get that hand out of your P/S system?

Still need to fab up some brackets for the Rotrex cooler and the oil cooler as things are different on this kit. We have some aero pieces to put on the car as well. That might come after the first part of testing. I expect to fire it up tomorrow as today is spent with the family.

still some work to do to finish it up so I can get it on the dyno. Need to fab up brackets for the oil coolers for the Rotrex and engine oil. The cam in this car is the biggest one yet tested. As we are looking to get as much of the top end power to the ground as possible without the massive wheelspin we had with the TVS..... I guess we will know soon enough

that was a great soundtrack to eat breakfast.

how much duration does that cam have, sheesh? I thought my eclipse had enough lope when it'd barely idle (needed a blip to clear it sometimes on the stock ECU) and sound like a v8 if my exhaust had a hole in the midpipe... it also knocked like a diesel in cold weather with the defroster and headlights on stupid chrysler engine management...
