Well, I think Adam's build and documentation are invaluable to the community. Especially for those of us who have decided to stay with the reliability of NA, and push the NA performance envelope...

Talk and speculation are cheap, but someone actually doing this to light the way for the rest of us really says something.

It's coming along slowly. We were focusing on totally completing Adam's build and then focusing on mine.

I will be running a stroked NA motor with a ton of other goods.

Finally had some time today to do a quick video, and after playing around with the editing software tonight, I got it down to about 1 minute long.

The road I was on was in an industrial area, but it's really crappy, so I didn't quite push it 100%. I'll try to find some better roads that are smooth so I can go all out - so look for some more videos this coming weekend.

For now, enjoy

Man, that video doesn't do his car justice. We need to vid a highway blast where he punches it up to 8000+ rpm.

the clip with the car moving away from the camera is shifting at 7500, the one on the return (car coming towards camera) is 8000

Sort of a short road, so I didn't want to go all out, but it was the only place I could set the camera up and not get bothered!
