Nothing like the SFR twin plenum.

We will post a build sheet when the car is finished. Unfortunately the motor and turbo kit were pulled from that car for a customer that wanted it.

This is a Jenvey ITB kit with custom FI boxes. There are no throttle bodies at the end of the plenums...

Unfortunately runner/airbox design was a lot of trial and error as well as best volumetric fitment under the stock hood without altering the driveline angle.

Motor is being stroked as we speak. This is the slow period, but everything should be coming together soon

Default K40 Install

I know it won't contribute to the whp #'s, but thought it would be a prudent addition to the build...

Kevin James installed the K40 RL360 Radar/Laser System shortly after the car showed up at Forged.

+1 on the timing cover. Very subtle mod and does wonders for improving the aesthetics under the hood.
