Great work guys!
Question for Sharif. Judson and I essentially have the exact same build with the exception of 2 items, JWT vs GReddy and 6MT vs 5AT. We have similar power output but he gets there at 2psi less. Is this mainly the drivetrain loss difference, difference in turbos or both?
Judson, congrats! Now that is the way to build a car.

. What's a few more days after waiting most of the summer, right? 
Those AP brakes look nice - rotors look huge. Hmmm....

Is it me, or are the rear tires protruding OUTSIDE of the wheel well? Let me guess, VOLK GTS with +17 offset on 285/30/19? I don't understand why ppl get offsets that low when they have this much power. Has he cut the fenders? If he went with more conservative offsets he could have got some beefier tires and wouldn't have to worry about fender clearance.

Does give it a wider, more aggressive stance...

I am running 305's on the rear, and my LE's 22 offset also has a stick out...doesnt bother me at all.

^ You're missing the point. With that kind of power, you want to have as much traction as possible (ie. wider tires). Those 285's is the max you can go, they don't even look as if they fit right and he may have to roll/cut his fenders.... I could be wrong, just going by that one pic.

Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.

Let get the car done!
