Yes sir 305's out back and it fit fairly easy, we did cut the inner fender liner away and had to do a descent pull.

love the ride, never seen your sc around ga though
It doesn't get driven to often, e85 is a bit hard to locate in my area. But i do bring it out on occasion!

It's a race build kit, i wanted to push the r154 to the max. We will see what she can handle if i don't sell it first.

Zen also upgraded my fuel system but I told them to only tune it for 93. I might eventually upgrade to E85, but I just cant find it everywhere. That was my problem. Just didn't want to be in a bind and not be able to find it.
I completely understand what you mean bud. Sometime I wish i wouldve stayed on 93 but the power on e85 in incredible. But i only drive the car from time to time so it's no big deal. And yes having someone who is fully supportive and shares the same passion i do is incredible! But it hurts the bank! lol.

Actually yes It was made using some Lexen, It worked fantastic but i recently ditched it and went with a pillar so i could view the gauges a bit better.




Thanks so much for all the support guys!

Thanks so much man! That's just the way it goes. You start turning that wrench and you go, 'well why I'm here!" You all know what I mean!

Hey guys just wanted to let you know ive been making much more progress! Check her out! Finally got her on the dyno at Battleground motorsports in Atlanta. And they were awesome! They had my lexus fired up on the new AEM v2 in no time at all. I even drove it back 3 hours from Atlanta after they did my driving tune. They didnt get a chance to do a WOT tune because i had to break in my new clutch setup. I go back to battleground this Wednesday for my WOT tune and man I'm excited. I was at 620 rwhp on the old setup and I've upgraded the entire turbo setup, exhaust, all new gaskets, charge piping, injectors, clutch and all that good stuff! So hoping for a little more this time!






Getting tuned!





Driving her home!



Enjoy guys ill have videos Wednesday!

Awesome man. Glad to hear they successfully tuned your SC also. They did a great job on mine as well. Mine cranks and runs after the first turn of the key. While in boost at wide open throttle it registers 10.7-11.2 always.

Just need to remap it or something similar. Mine had an issue with the AC kicking on and off. DAN from Zen Motors said the tuner couldnt get the AEM to recognize the ac coming on to adjust the rpms. I just blip the throttle and life is good. Most times I dont even have to do that. It idles fine..

Looking good, glad you were able to recoup from the minor set back...man, I know that must of been a fun drive back home! So how much did you get on it during the drive back? Be honest!!!


hey bro, it looks like your rear visor is about to blow off?
