Just spent an hr reading through this thread. Love your car. My favorite part was how the car was making insanely loud explosions when letting off, that never gets old lol :D

Looking forward to seeing your new setup

The only day I'll be able to do it is Friday. Which will be a work day for the shop. Dustin use to work for us so that's fine, If it was a Saturday and no one was there, I'd say sure. But on a work day don't need too many bodies standing around :(

If you would like to get some insights on engine building I found these videos pretty interesting.
