Well I will give you details on the car. I can tell you that this is no BS. I have been in a lot of fast cars and this car is very fast! I also know that some of you may flame me for this as well, but I plan to run it through the quarter mile as well to see what it will do. I am convinced it will run mid to low 11's but again, I will have to see. I am certain that it is faster than my old Kawasaki Z1000 crotch rocket motorcycle and that was no slouch. Matt from Monkey wrench posted a preliminary dyno for the car on this site and it is on the thread, "tuning for turbo power."
First of all, The car was originally a Hass turbo kit. Yep, that is right...Hass. Now, when I got the car it didn't run for crap but after numerous months at Monkeywrench racing and many changes, the car is finally right. The car no longer runs the Greedy emanage, he used an AEM engine management on the car as well as the following upgrades:
Upgraded clutch
European trans (better gearing for the turbo power) it will run 50+mph in 1st gear so I didn't have to shift at all for the autocross. It will pull over 80mph in 2nd and hit 120+in 3rd and it gets there FAST!
Limited slip diff.
It has a custom header replacing the previous log manifold
Upgraded GT2871R turbo
new valves
Mahle forged "drop in" pistons
Custom 3inch exhaust
I have asked Matt for the most recent dyno as it pulls a little more torque in the midrange than the initial dyno that he posted. I will be happy to post it if he emails it to me like he is supposed to.
The autocross was with the Furrin Group in West Michigan.

I do not think the event results are posted as of yet, but they should be fairly soon. The event took place at the auto auction on this past weekend. It was the first event of the year. This is the only West Michigan Club at this time as the West Michigan SCCA really is not putting on events any more. This was not a national event but I was still pretty proud to bring home the fastest time of the day especially since many of the other cars used race tires. Believe it!
The car handled great with the tires, like it or not. I knew that a lot of people would not agree but it works, I didn't rub, and the results speak for themselves. The car stuck good and it was smooth and fast. I would have for sure been faster with race tires but I didn't need them. Best of all, it looked great doing it! Everybody was talking about my car and asking to ride with me. I do have a short video from the sidelines but I have not watched it myself yet. I will see if I can download it and get some pictures in the next couple days for all of you. Be patient, I will get them.
