Exactly...I can't imagine the funds needs to build something like that...it is definitely amazing...turbo is massive...can't wait to see a clean pass with the car at 100%...

wow sick setup. I remember seeing it at the 09 shootout and thought it might be a half douglas autoworks and half ams car. But the work is well done. Good job Douglas autoworks.

Xcreaton, AMS has helped us with the use of their dyno as well as assigning Chris Black to tune the car. They also wanted to put one of their first CNC heads on our car. Though AMS has helped us those ways, I'm sure they will vouche for it to be known that this is not a half Douglas Autoworks car and half AMS car. I dont want anyone to get the wrong ideas.. We built this car from ground up at Douglas.

Per the request for video, here's what I can provide so far.. This video was with the boost turned up a lil bit.. We turned it down afterwards in order to get the chassis dialed in and everything setup in the Motec. It's current tune is ~750hp at 28psi
