Cass-will you be able to make the FT Car Wash? (28th)
That is my plan right now. Although I'm sure I will be quite sick of driving. Looking forward to meeting you if we both make it down. Glad to see you have love for the Z again.

Thanks Grizz - I'll hit you up next time I head down to see Frank.

Congrats and enjoy your vacation.
Thank you sir!!

Chris i am so happy for you that the problems are now in the past.The power numbers are fuking awesome esp on Daves DD.
Thanks Keith - see you at the next F:T event.

great numbers man, glad it all came together
Thank you!

Excellent numbers already congrats

Now you are making me think about sending out my APS turbos for an upgrade.
Thanks - the turbo upgrade was definately money well spent.

Great numbers Cass. Congrats! You have many toys that some of us can only dream of. Hope to do something like this next year
Thank You - years of hard work and never quit on a project.... anyone can do it.

Great Numbers Cass!! Congrats for sticking with it. It should always pay off in the end!!! Now go out and enjoy the car! and remember to Drive it like you stole it!!!
Thank You - I'm sure you could build this same car for a fraction of the price.... in your driveway The DIY KING!!!

Man this is awesome. The car is a beast, and has more in it.

Im very happy for you, it has been a rough journey but in the end was well worth it! What was your max boost and power on pump, no meth?

I cant wait till you take delivery of the car, get used to it, and we can meet up
Thanks Alberto - I'm sure there will be a youtube moment or two in our future. I'll tell you my max numbers if you tell me yours .

Man I am really happy for you those are some awesome numbers. After all the trials and tribulations it is nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This thing is going to be a whole new beast make sure you get use to the power before you crank it wide open. Hopefully I get to check this out in person sometime, I would love to do some highway pulls with you
Thanks alan - highway pulls whenever we meet up. I will take it easy till I get a feel for the power.

excellent... cass remember when i said that there is no reward unless you go through the journey?...car is beast! great power! so glad you upgraded turbos...(and got it in time for trasnformers 2)
Thank You Jorge - I appreciate the encouragement and kind words you offered all through this process.

Congrats Chris!!!! OMG that's a LOT of power!!!!
Thanks Etan - promise I will introduce myself at the next meet. BTW, you know this is your fault right.... ...(and got it in time for trasnformers 2)

Great numbers Cass, Glad that it has finally completed. I'm sure all the struggles will be soon forgotten if they havent already
Thank You - the pain is subsiding, I hope it goes away completely once I take delivery of the car later this month.

Sorry if I missed anyone - I would like to thank Rude for always listening to me ***** about the process. Driven1 for showing me both how far I could take the car (his car is BALLER) and for making me feel welcome when I knew nobody. XKR and ttg35fort for doing things that always let me feel that my build was "reasonable". thom000001 for all the advice on how to get my car to where his is already at with HP. thefireboy for making me feel better about my car living at Hill's and reminding me it will all be done someday. Lastly, thanks to jtgli - just remeber Jon.... this is all your fault .

I will have a full list of thank you's for all the shops and vendors that participated in my build after the final numbers are in and I have more time.

I'd paint the covers red and the surrounding plastic pieces blue! Keep the transformer theme!

+1 painting the covers and the rad support might be too much and start to look cheezy. Looks great as is IMO.
