Oh Jared..................that is frick'n awesome!!!!!!!
We're not worthy, we're not worthy..............why would you ever want to take that on the Dragon when you are having so much fun on the track?
Hell.............if you are going to be in the Green group, you'll be lapping me all day long!!!
Great job, man! Can't wait to see (and hear) it in person.

Great car, but without catalytic converters, it cannot pass many state inspections and is, hence, incapable of being registered for street use. A major problem for a 3 to 4 horsepower gain. The constantly engaged check engine light will also mask other problems. A poor choice for incremental power gains. Go with headers, catalytics & muffler bypass, if you can tolerate the noise level of an open exhaust.

Nice build!
Really nice build! I'm going through the same type of build (almost exactly the same), was almost like looking at my own car! Weird..
Anyway car looks great, enjoy it....

I think it sounds great, even a little on the quiet side for me

So much thanks to all of you for your kind words. I really appreciate them. If there's anyway that I can help any of you, just let me know. I've been around the block with this car for sure. I have so many spare parts! Wife's about to kill me. But hey, Kurt (P0rsch3) just took my Bilsteins and H&Rs, so she's happy today.
Brian (B-More) I'm at CMP on the 11th and Road Atlanta on the 16th and 17th, then at VIR on the 28th and 29th. I hate that I won't be there to meet you in person this weekend, but maybe you can come to one of these? Just a thought...
MichaelL. Thanks for the thoughts on the exhaust. It's actually modular, so I can change it out and even pack it for different situations. Synergy totally has it under control... and I have no check engine light, and the benefits to power/free revving of no cats when you're talking about a supercharged car are more than NA. I just think it's cool. Synergy sees the car once a month or so, so it's no big deal. It's very highly monitored.
Jack (Looney2N) I dunno, I just love the mountain roads! I love playing some great music (big stereo inside too) and open up the roof and windows and just get into a rhythm. I don't go out risking anyone's life, just laying down a good line to some good tunes on a good road. Honestly, I love playing worship music, not your typical 'in church' music, but music that really gets me going, while driving in the mountains. To each his own, right? Can't do that on the track.
Delius, I'm game to promote the 1+ kit. I'll be getting dyno numbers again on Thursday. I can put it off and do back to backs. I'm sure many guys on here with the base kit would love to see this.
JellyBone, You'll never go wrong working with Kerrigan. They aren't asking me to talk like this about them. They'll likely never know. But they are EVERYTHING you'd want in a shop and nothing else. No trash talk, only professional work from good, honest, fun to be around guys who know what the heck they're doing.
