Some of you may have read the nice comments from friends that drove "Shamu" at MMV. It took a long time,3 different motors, trans r&r 6 times, (should have used velcro to hold it in), to get the car as you drove it. I am at 400rwhp which surprises people as low for having a Cobra crate motor in the car now.Dennis Reinhart, a vendor here and Jim D'Amore of JDM Engineering put allot of time in to the car to get the "drivability" and that "connected feeling" from the motor to the rear tires that make my car feel different.
Many people drove along way to get to MMV, glad to meet you, I had a blast.If you can make it to the Peoples Republic of Maryland you can get to Dennis in Fla. or JDM in New Jersey or go see Lidio but get your car tuned by a pro! Tom

Shamu is setup great! I was so surprised that setup felt so lively, low stall speed converter and 3.23 gears sounds "against logic" but the feel coming out of that car was wild!
Shamu was always ready to run with no delay keeping that neck snapping torque from the ground! Awesome car Tom!

Steve Edwin and I enjoyed the time you spent with us, we were proud to work on the car, and it is a monster for sure. Tom new what he wanted and we made it happen I like the way Jim and his team massaged the Cobra motor in there with the Eaton, with out having to notch the frame,they custom made the alternator brackets, it was a very slick install.
