The power it will be making will def make up for that
Yeah, I remember guessing Detroit previosly, are you doing carbon ds, ceramic hubs, and the like to lighten things up? I know everyone is fixated with the power adders, but it's nice to touch subject on other things that can help you go fast.

ET makes and sells all different kinds of shifters but STM is also an alternative

For now I have all DSS parts and an AMS Wilwood Brake Kit. And anyones input is never overlooked in my book, I'm always open to suggestions

It certainly looks like its going to be a monster! Looking forward to hearing how it comes out, do you have an end power figure in mind?

I can't discuss the figure but it will definitely be a beast

Just out of curiosity, did you ever think of just getting a GTR and modding it?? I'm only saying that because of the money thats being invested in this car.....for the purpose of th 60-130 pull i would think the GTR would be a better platform.

Now don't take that the wrong way, i'm not knocking the car or anything, just curious as to the thought process as to why you chose this.

Doesn't hurt to be curious! But, considering the price of the cars alone, that money can/is being put into modding. Also, comparing prices to mod each is another aspect. And finally, I like being the underdog and surprising people . It just feels good when you can prove them otherwise!

F yea

Ordinarily I'd probably let you have it for putting a ridiculous turbo on your car. I have been around a while and I haven't seen anyone make that big a turbo work for anything, perhaps ET can? However, given you have two Evos, you are automatically twice as vested as the average Evom privateer. I respect your dedication to the Evo sir and I appreciate your posting the build.
