With the power of creation comes great responsibility. Took it out for first test drive. Still have some tuning to do but happy with the results. The sound the throttle bodies make combined with the Tangerine Evo exhaust is staggering and fast.

So when I get it sorted I will have to decide if I use this power for good or evil? idea.gif

Pretty sure from the looks I got from people tonight I am leaning toward evil!

Told you that you would love it....I told Chris that the sound puts a smile on that you couldn't wipe off with a handful of hundred dollar bills!

It is hard to communicate that feeling of how hard it is to remove that smile, to those that have never experienced the success of going through the creation process.

Not that the EVO did not sound good on the previous engine, but I think this new engine really takes advantage of the design and sound it is suppose to produce.

Going to have to save many handfuls of hundred dollar bills and look at the headers!

Some minor suspension upgrades. Rear sway bar, Koni adjustable front shocks, 914 Rubber Front Shock bushings, Tarett adjustable front sway bar links, and all new rear suspension bushings. Think I am good. May need a driver capable of using these upgrades though!

Funny though just adding the rear sway bar gave the car a better feel. Have not had the chance to see how it impacted under steer or over steer nut it just feels better.

Had some set up issues so did not push it all that hard. Identified some changes to make but fairly happy for a first run.

Pretty good torque at about 114 horsepower and 125 foot-pounds of torque at the wheels. Got out of it pretty early on that run, was having some coil issues, and a few Micro squirt issues so maybe there is more?
