I just absolutely love this thing.. And don't get confused, this motor came out of my s13 because it was alittle to much and my 89 yota pickup has a 1uz doing like 300+ hp on GM ecm so I'm not new to fast cars.. This thing hooks! definitely a 12 sec car.

Somebody with skills and too much time on their hands. Cool build, very different and not expected -- mission accomplished! Enjoy.

this is def not a cheap build for sure.. rich at daft innovations is a amazing fabricator, and when the right project that has the potential to be something special is presented he really steps up. the car performs and works like its from the factory.. theres sooo many short cuts that could have been taken, but weren't. thats where the money comes in..

Dope. Think there is room for a turbo under there? Supercharger will make 600-800hp but a turbo you could make 800-1000.
What 6spd did you swap in? Care to PM me some details on the cost?
