Got the car leveled out today, alignment done and quadruple torque checked!
Took it for a test drive and it sounds great from the cabin, a bit too raspy for me outside and it hugs the road like super glue!
I think I might change the front pipe to a catted front pipe to take away the rasp while accelerating.

My assistant mechanic and copilot Charlie and I on the first full on throttle test drive! It was fun!


I'll put a sound video together soon.

I'm working on that. Had to get the suspension dialed in before I felt safe enough to get it warmed up and do a good exhaust video.
Going to do cold start, revs, take off, fly by and interior sounds.
Might take a few days or so. My work schedule is crazy.

Oh, and it's kinda loud. Sounds like a full blown race car! The neighbors already love me!

Holy hell, nice build!!! Those dyno numbers are solid! I'm assuming 93 octane?

Did a few things to car this weekend. Put on the Valenti smoked tails and reverse light.Took out the intake sound tube.(just a dumb idea to put on a car in my opinion) Put on the HKS front pipe, installed an LED strip in the trunk and gave her a wash & wax! Pretty good weekend!
I updated the first post with pics.
Thanks for looking!
