Nice clean body you are starting out with + black interior awesome. That will be a nice winter project, just take you time and do it right and you will be happy in the long run. GL with the project.

Hey Sc375 The engine will be built to handle thousand hp, auto tranny between 750 to 850whp. The aem system will have two maps programed one for the track another for everyday driving. Everyday driving 550 to 600whp, for the track 700 hp because of the tranny. I've been waiting ten years to do this and want it done right.

Thank BiGEZ greatly appreciated, the sc300/400 is the best vehicle I've driven and felt this was the perfect car to do this type of upgrade. I wanted to do a 6 speed instead of the auto tranny but it is way to busy in the city to be shifting all the time. I will be very interested to see how the auto transmission does on the track next year.
I will keep posting updated as they progress
