Its running great! The car put down 560 rwhp 570 rwtq @ 9psi with methanol injection thanks to the tuning by FRCTom. I'm real happy with the overall outcome and the best part of it all I did all of the installation of everything myself.

Down side to all this is the clutch does not like all that power so it will slip a little at about 4500rpm in third gear. I just ordered an new Textralia Exo-Skel Twin Disk which will be here this coming week. I'm going to install it next Saturday. That will fix any slippage issues for sure.

Your more than welcome to stop by the warehouse any time and check it out in person, were right off of 118th ave.

Very good looking ride....What size is your wheel and tire set up, and how much did you lower it?

The wheels are the CCW 505A fully polished. The fronts are 19x10 and the rears are 19x11.5 wrapped in Nitto Invo tires. The tread pattern is pretty wicked on them and the car really puts the power down to the road. I opted for the 19" rears instead of the 20" as no tire company currently puts out a decent gripping tire and with the STS kit the rear of the car would just have broke loose.

I lowered the car down on the factory bolts, the fronts are maxed out and the rear I had to trim a little off of the rubber bushings and reinstalled the factory bolts. The car rides just as good when it was at stock height and handles great.
