That exhaust is so shiny and new that you have to break out the polish on the car, especially the turn signals.

Finished putting the center caps back on the wheels after I let the clear coat dry.

Retune with larger fuel. Rob @ TopSpeed spared this engine no mercy on the dyno yesterday in the retune. 2 hours straight maybe 6 or 7 pulls at 600whp. Engine hasnt skipped a beat. Goal was hit so we left it. AFR is fairly conservative at high 10s. But the torque this time is nasty high. Probably wont matter, I wont be making 5th gear pulls on the hwy. That's a little too fast for me. Car was spinning on the first pull. (Why the torque is so low). Their dyno is also brand new. Was told it will read a little lower.

He did me a serious solid though, stayed till around 10pm tuning the car. Still some slight cranking issues because of the 1000cc injectors and UPrev sucks a freaking sack. Would like to get on Infinity or Haltech but not going to. Ive had it with $$$ for now.













Crappy cell phone camera. I'm kicking myself I didnt bring my good camera.

Here you go, I think the aerocatch is pretty unobtrusive.

What kind of numbers are you hoping to make?

Appreciate it. Hood shakes a little at highway speeds and I'd rather be safe and take away a little aesthetics than to destroy the car.
