I have been waiting 2 years to make this post. Yea for me.

Finally my car is done. On the engine side that is.

We (Alpha,Mike) and the rest of DC and Brothers put it on the dyno last night about 7 pmish.

They were all expected decent numbers because of the supposedily "uber" engine. I was expecting it to blow the fuck up because thats how this car has been.
But because of the awsome work Mike and his team from Driven concepts did and the mad tyte tuning skills of the master it put down decent numbers and didnt blow up.

First pull on pump gas it did 423ish with 300ish torqe i believe. Hopefully Alpha will put up the dyno charts.

I was suprised and very happy. The engine sounded good and everything was running smooth. We had the normal dyno stuff, repoace this wire and put on this piece but nothing major. Brothers had everything we needed included vht which we ended up needing. But even with the offer of 4 new volk te37's X and alpha wouldnt give up their super dizzy.


Top numbers on Pump Gas hit 49x hp and 38x tq. That was at 11lbs.

We switched to race fuel to see what she woul do. Ended up putting down 630 hp and 48x tq I believe. this was at 17lbs of boost and I cant rember what it was reving too. Alpha will correct me if i am wrong. It was late for an old fucker like me.

We had to stop because the tires were slipping on the dyno rollers even with copious quantities of vht.

I pick up my new tires and suspension this week so after a bit we will see what she puts down with a little more boost.

here are a few pictures.

Needless to say I am really really happy and I do not think that without Driven Concepts guidance and willingness to put up with all my issues I would have finished.
This kinda shows the progression. As you can see there is not much that DC didnt do to my car, a little paint, a little fab, a little wrenching. Feels good to be taken care of and these guys did that for sure.

 

dam..looks good...

 

awesome...that there is some good numbers

 

Solid #'s and beautiful fab work!
Can you give us a run down of you build?

Don't take this the wrong way but-
You will surprise a lot of people w/ all that power in a "Fast and Furious" body.
