Jerry arias and his crew at Eurotechs know what they are doing. Very smart group of young men out there. And I can't say enough good things about them. Very very smart group of men in that shop. But his hands are tied waiting in nick for the custom stuff. Something needs to be done so those dealers can get things done in a timely manner. Don't get me wrong here, I've had issues I had to fix and a knee replacement that slowed me up,as well as some of the things I wanted to do with the tune but he had the data he needed. If he couldn't do something or didn't wanna jeopardize pushing a motor as hard as I was gonna, just say so. But ignoring someone that's got prolly the highest end build he's got to tune is unacceptable.
DAMN !! What difference a fresh Trans make. Holy s@#* batman.

Screw it, it runs, it's fast as hell.
MAKE ME AN OFFER !!

Also, it will out run a mustang that I believe is a boss or svt. One of those fancy high end jobbies from ford. Long story short, from about 90, we took off, I got out about 4 cars and had to slow up. On the closed course obviously.
There's more in this thing.

I'll let ya know how it makes out on the Dyno. I'm not expecting any big number anymore to be honest. It now uses as much oil as it does gas.
Fill the gas and add the oil. Just like the old days when 4 guys came to your car when you pulled in.
