Default MRC Motorsports Presents VINO...A fine MERLOT...

We present to you Vino's ultra fine Merlot, 2006 edition. With subltleness, yet sharp distinct flavor, this fine Merlot zips past the fastest production cars on the NJTPK, yet is tame enough for a daily driver..
Vino has been a long time customer and loyal MRC supporter since 2006, so it was of no surprise that he wanted us to take his daily driver to the next level. With a selection of some quality parts yet not going overboard for his goals, Vino;s final gaol of a low 500hp daily driver was accomplished.
After doing lots of research and consulting with us at MRC, Vino settled in on the following:

GTM Stage 0 block
L19 head studs
HKS headgaskets
GTM stage 1 head package with upgraded springs
APS Extreme TT kit
APS Extreme Fuel system
APS 3" turbo exhaust
APS Tall boy plenum
APS strut bar
Competition stage 4 clutch and flywheel combo
Rotora 4 piston front brake kit
Greddy Type S suspension
Greddy Profec BII BCS
Hotchkis sways
SPL endlinks
Motul Fluids
HKS FCON V PRO


Vino yeilded 536 whp at only 14 psi and was more than content with that power level and wanted us to stop there so he could get used to the newfound power..

That's an interesting power curve for TT - fairly linear power band and no drop off - very nice. Stock cams?

Congrats to owner and MRC.
