I think it's great building up a motor exactly the way you want. I just hope you guys have a plan in 2010/2011 when your first smog inspection comes up.

Of course, this only applies to tree hugging State of Kali.

Mine isn't due until 2011 (6 years after 2005). And my plan is simple... this car will be retired to track-only duty at that point, and will be my dedicated race car forever.

The objective will be a monster, running deep into the 9's.

May I ask why you decided to go non-intercooled? Was it mainly a cost issue?

I'm getting the HO kit with 10psi pulley. Adam assures me that he will give me a safe, conservative tune.

Adam is in San Bernardino right?
