Besides the rod bearings replacement, I had Jay Obst help/do some more mods on the car to get it ready for the track season.

Looks good Dimi. Not sure what size tires you are running in the front, but make sure the tires don't rub on the hoses when the car is on the ground.

Nice! Did Jay fab the brake cooler bracket?

David,

Those brackets are available from Paragon, I believe. I have the same set up.

Curious about the performance difference with a turbo intake on a normally aspirated car. Any dyno data to see what effect it has?

^ looks like it may make a little more torque.

You are almost correct ;) There is a trade off - HP for TQ at the top end.

Hey, Peter Ferrel is in Frederick now? Does Mike Levitas still own the place?

No. One of Peter's main techs, Ray, bought the place from him. Peter has a car dealership in Manassas now.
