Not at all. Hitting backwards, and knowing it was comming, I just pushed my self back in the seat and it felt like nothing more then a roller coaster stopping/starting.

so is it the same motor or a different one?
Same everything. Literally sat them in the bays and took parts off, walked over and put parts on.

$17k out the door for the white one.

Did you work at a job anytime that week?
Im a full time student. A big thanks goes out to J&S dyno in Verona, PA. Jason made it all possible in such a short time.

All of the modding is done -- but the interior parts are what im dreading.. i LOATHE wiring, and fumbling under the dash, and dealing with routing wires. Hopefully next week its all done and I can get back to enjoying it rather then hating it

on the guage overlays -- theres only like.. 6 i think left.... period. he isnt making any more.. so I suggest getting on that asap.

And -- HOPEFULLY next thursday.. if weather plays nice. Shooting for 10's on pump only.. But well see how that turns out. realistically... id be happy with 11.4's at 120-122

Free potenza RE070's... hard to pass up. Their about as sticky as you can get. They are the predecessor to the RE-11's.

When they die im going to 245/40/17s potenza re760's

Job well done.

All that power warrants better brakes, HPS are junk.
