But no more information is to be disclosed until the darn thing is running, and running well. So you're just sticking with what we discussed a few months ago then? OR have you added a few things? It's not gonna be what we discussed. As usual, I changed my mind for the 50th time, but am committed to the newest set of mods. If my pansy ass can drive the damned thing it should do a minimum of make big HP #s on the dyno and trap big mph. I'm in the process of gathering parts over the next 2 weeks, then to the shop to make the transformation. I am going to do everything I can to have the car broke in and ready to give some rides for the UMG. Once I saw Mark from MN was going big.....I had to step up to the plate  Matt

Naw, the car is going to be a color that was never offered for the Stealths. A couple people know, but I'd like to keep it a secrete (incase I change my mind on the color). All will be revield at the UMG. (I hope) _________________ 06 Blue EVO 9

 <--- Adam laughin' his ass off at the UMG as Greg shows up in a pink stealth... but seriously. I thought that you were going to get a SOHC for that. it might add a couple extra lbs.

Jesse will sponsor it. you know that. So I take it your talking about the 3000 gt color then. did you get your car back from the painter that originally had it? Jesse are you still looking for a ride for your track car? I might be able to talk pat out of his truck and trailer for a weekend. he owes me one.

The new DR heads will really seal the deal. I'm incredibly excited for you. What kind of injectors are you running? Matt

Matt I was at ~75% IDCs with my PTE 680s last year. I bought some new PTE 780s for this setup. DR doesn't like them, but I've had pretty good luck with them and you can argue the price. $380 for a set of new injectors! My Heads shipped yesterday and my 900s are shipping today. Should be able to complete the motor next weekend  More pics at http://www.landmracing.com/engine_rebuildMark
