        Thank you,

        The mod's include:
        * Rebuilt 2.5L engine with focus on improved oiling and higher RPM capability and improved reliability (forged pistons)
        * Larger valves, bigger cam's (4 of them... ouch $$$)
        * 740cc injectors with upgraded fuel pump
        * Front mount inter-cooler, cold air intake with larger MAS housing
        * Forced Performance Red turbo (30psi capable)
        I tune the engine myself with help from a few "pro's". It makes 380 AWHP on 93 octane fuel. I took it to the track finalize the tune a couple of weeks ago. My goal was to launch it easy to avoid breaking another axle then go for best trap and tune from there. With a very soft launch (3/10's of a second slower than my normal 60' time) I ran 12.29 @ 115 on pump fuel.

        A friend of mine on the west coast is running high 10's @ 131 in the 1/4 mile with similar mods & race fuel but he is starting to break driveline parts. I may go for a bit more power using race fuel (VP 109) next year but I want to minimize the potential to break parts (ha, really I am building up my bank account).

        Thanks for asking about my mod's...

        I look forward to seeing your group at future meets.
