I would guess he means since the car was began to be worked on this last time around . I'm actually VERY surpised that the car is even done !! We had many delays ( none in my part thank god ) and yet it actually got there ! Ryans car was taken in and somehow fitted between many other projects and his car is actually leaving while others will stay behind for about another 2 weeks or so ..This car should be very nice once everything is said and done and after waiting soooo long and dealing with the BS at first its good to see a smile on his face .

It's true, it has been from shop to shop, but it looks like this project is in it's final stages. It's not the easiest thing to deal with when you have to look over everything past shops have done.

" Or Not "

Ryan, don't rush. Let the project complete as you check and recheck everything. One mistake can cost $ you a 1UZFE motor. Much respect to you on this one.

4 questions ?
1. How are you managing the extra fuel need ?
2. What engine Management system are you going to run ?
3. What are your beginning plans for Boost PSI, and ending plans for top amount of Boost PSI ?
4. What do you think it will Dyno out at ?
