Sorry for posting up so much, but I wanted to show you my un-finished project journey to date...I have not really posted up much on my project thread for a while now...Not much progressed in the background, and there is so much more, but I did not want to turn this thread into a dissertation about my project, so I tried to give you the shortest detail I could in this thread.
I will end this current string of posts with this: My original Dyno sheet of my stock motor:
As you can see...That amount of power and torque was just totally unacceptable for me. I thought about buying a 500+ HP car, but then anybody with decent credit and a bit of cash can go out and buy that...I wanted unique, original, powerful, fast, sleek, beauty, comfort, sophistication, I wanted my SC...It just needed much more power and I set out to do so...With the V8. It has been tough, challenging, painful, very expensive, but also rewarding, and an absolute excyclopedia of learned knowledge and hands on experience...Worth it.
Car is being tuned very soon. I will post up the dyno for a comparison...
More to come...

Getting work done....
I should of started it when it was like this to hear how it would of sounded LoL
Annnnnnnnnd finished product, parts that are made to fit are so easy to work with
Will post vids when they are ready
