DanRHeller - It's good to see more people working towards the goal of the 200mph club. Showing the domestic (anti-import) guys that we can make a Mitsu with only a fraction of the displacement go as fast and faster than they are going is a very big accomplishment in my opinion. It's only a bonus to get a shirt (200mph speed limit shirt) for accomplishing your goal.

I've been part of helping Mike Reichen with his Evo2 since the beginning of his land speed racing. We've had to over come many hurdles with an even less aerodynamic chassis than the evo VIII's & IX's. Mike's car has been in a wind tunnel for the better part of a weekend which we learned a lot about aerodynamics. I would definitely be willing to hear any ideas you have in order to better your aerodynamics and give you feedback on your ideas & theories. You can call the shop if you want to chat about any ideas 630-894-6130.

Thanks SO MUCH for the support! I will be calling you this week for sure. I am one of those domestic guys! Buy obviously not an anti-import one.

The turbo is an ETS kit(obviously) using a PT6765. If you make it down there, come say hi, i'd love to meet someone new!

As for the motor, haven't been to the shop in a few days, and we have 3 big builds going on now...so instead of telling you specs right now and possibly confusing them with the other 2 builds, I will check when I am there and post back.
