well aware of this, I own/have owned MANY turbo cars.

Reason for my goals question was, that turbo has a HP limit which at least in my head would probably not make what I'd want out of it.

I wish you luck in getting this thing finished, I hope it runs like a raped ape!!

The 5862 has a limit of 600+ hp. That's gonna be plenty for me. I can always upgrade later.

Received my roll cage and intercooler today. Of course I have to wait until my new k member comes in before the cage can get installed. Just collecting parts right now. Bah.

Oh hey you're back, long time no see lol. Why do you have to wait to get the K member before installing the cage?

Lol hi, it has been a while. The whole front end is basically apart, I need the car level on the ground before putting the cage and new carpet in. Case says it's easier now though having everything off while trying to fab the headers so it's actually not that much of an inconvenience at the moment. I can't do much work right now either, just had my wisdom teeth pulled and trying to take it easy while they heal.

That's probably the only goal I do have with the car, to be done for Carlisle, lol. I'm hoping to get to the dyno tune in April so there's time for fine tuning and some track times before June. And of course time to just drive around as well.

Talking

Case is almost done fabbing the headers. He's gonna take them to work to pressure test and clean up the welds when he's done. They're not gonna be perfect looking, but I'm not risking losing power with the log style headers or pay someone $1k+ to fab them for me.
