    But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
    In the rhythm of the new-born day
    You know sometime you're bound to leave her
    But for now you're going to stay
    In the year of the cat



    May your sails aways have wind John. Looking forward to SSH8. Now you have two cars that I admire.

    Congratulations on the make over.

    In the third pic, looks like a carbon fiber intake tube, where did you find that?

    Very impressive. I can see a lot of time went into the planning and execution.

    Have some of your coolant hoses been replaced w/ metal if so why?

    Tom that came off of DRs car and we are not going to use it as it wants to blow off as the boost is more than it can handle. It looked great but dont work!

    I will be able to pick up the car next week if nothing else rears its ugly head. They have figured out the tuning glitch! The numbers are good and it still gets a little more dyno work today. 600 Rwhp and 540 torque. to start with. Paul will fine tune it from here and leave it in that range. Thats at 18 1/2 pounds of boost and 6500 rpm. Goona be a long couple of days waiting on it. They still have to drive it and will put a hundred miles or more on it before I pick it up. Tires will be the next issue for the street.
