The hydro graphics really does come out very well on the wheels... my buddy just got his car back last friday and had his stock Audi wheels dipped.. it really does look great.. I myself had all my engine pieces done as well as a few metal pieces on the frame... I may also do some wheels here in the near future...

radiator is in.......for those looking for a radiator in the future, we tried a mishimoto that did not fit. This one is a fluidyne, fits right in size wise, minimal work for mounting. Sits slightly high, but not anything crazy. Both were Supra radiators, but the Mishimoto has a larger bottom end for some reason that makes it sit real high without alot of work. Its unfortunate, the Mishimoto was nicer looking.

I know Ive seen pics of a few cars on here running that radiator, but it was looking like we would need to start cutting **** to make it sit right......didnt feel like going there. Maybe we gave up too quickly, but the fluidyne definitely sits in there easier. Its about 1/2" or so shorter.

The end is near......a couple more days and I will finally be rolling! They finished up on the dyno last night..
735 rwhp on E85......not bad at all!
I have it tuned on both E85 and pump, but I will be rolling on E85 primarily.
Gotta tweak a few little things and it is good to go........should have a nice picture spread of it coming soon.

Thanks man, its been a long time coming for sure.....the fact that I know the car is done right makes it worth it. I've never seen Ben take a short cut on anyone's car thats for sure.
Ben did say that he thought those 20's were sapping some power on the dyno. He said he could have pushed it with a few more lbs of boost, but went the safe route......which im cool with.

Ahhh, the joys of high HP builds..... went to pick up the car today, drives great, rediculous power.....so much so that we broke the U Joint (on a modified drive shaft).......luckily right in front of the shop.
I needed more time to clean my garage for my baby anyhow.
........to be continued next week!
