Going nicely. Dyno time and minor changes here and there. They used my car for aftermarket exhaust development at Protomotive. Created production templates for a true 3" setup that anyone can order. With or without heat exchange, with or without mufflers. It looks nice. I kept the heater ditched the mufflers. It'll be pretty nasty. All is well though.

Todd an his crew have been great. They've picked up all the pieces and put the car together very nicely. They reassembled the interior. Installed all the carbon parts. Did all the electrical wiring properly. Even took the entire engine apart to check the previous work down to the level they were comfortable with.

All the hoses were upgraded to the S Car Go setup. The car is being dynotuned real time. It's gotten brakes, steering, mounts, alignment, a slew of high quality engine components and work. I'm happy. Not to leave out all the carbon fiber everywhere including the new steering wheel. I'm thinking my next round of goodies will be more fuel. All that jazz. But 60#ers and nice pumps will do for now with the Alpha 28's and a boat full of boost. She's tuned for MS109 and a street tune.

While I'm not going as far as Mike has plans for. It will have some settings in the OBC that is now in the dash with help of the new profec controller to be sure of causing a good time to occurr.

All in all she hasn't had a single mile put on her in. 3 years. So that's a good thing.

2WD conversion. New tires. TRG billet race drop links. New front bushings. That's the latest update go big or go home I guess. Plus the diet should be a nice change.

Stealth minus black 996tt wheels for the wider tread. Plus the H&R cup coilovers have it sitting pretty low.

She's done

Finally... Done. I'm so happy with the results too. Pump gas tune is great. No kill mode dyno though. I'm gonna take it easy on her after all this.
