I did all of the fiberglass work in my car... I love doing stuff like that, but it's just sooo time consuming...

Expensive does not equal nice but oh well. Bigger. Yes. To each their own.


The magazines do not need confirmed whp number for them to put it in their magazine....For example the SFR red G35 that claimed 645 or some bs like that on stock motor was put all over the magaizine and forums. But only made 4 something when he confessed it at a Stillen day.


We never claimed anything on Tinmans car.It was also a fully built motor with Ferrea valvetrain,JWT cams,built tranny,etc.........So it was not a stock motor.It did make 452WHP on a dyno dynamics with no correction at 10 psi.We never got to make anymore then that because the intercoolers were a tad bit too small,the piggy back ECU needs an upgrade as well as the fuel system and I dont think the customer really wanted to invest much more in this car.Dsport threw in the 650WHP possible on the cover to draw interest but we never claimed it made that.We told them it was possible with this turbo system and it is.Just wanted to clarify.

I here you Tim.

Most magizines seem to be almost tossing out some random numbers and in most cases just putting up what the owners say. Its sad that it has gotten so bad that it should now almost be mandatory for these mags to have to prove the power claims before posting them. These magazines and the coulda woulda shoulda numbers ARE getting a bit out of hand sometimes.

I'll be out at SEMA for a couple of business meetings and walking the show...

Best way to back up a dyno chart or claim is Trap Speed...

How hard is it to learn to work with fiberglass? Its something I've always wanted to pick up, but was never sure where to start.
