ha well the ac didnt work on this one, but the sunroof and windows down made a nice trip out of it. very reliable, and got decent milage when i didnt beat on it. best tank was 27 mpg with the upped fuel pressure.

if i converted to speed density, did away with the egr, and tuned it, im sure the thing woulda gotten better. at one point it had a .48 t3 on it, stinger fmic, gutted upper, knifed/ported lower, and ran 22 psi with a bobs log. the damn thing would scoot!
