hey yeah it is a lot but remember it is a full race engine.. high comp pistons and full race cams 310deg. i belive and redline is about 9000rpm at least that what the engine builder says. plus dont forget these engine was used in japan for the formula 2000 a few years back and these tom's engines got like 300hp's from them so hopefully we can make it. remember these are engine HP hopefull we can make at least 260hp to the wheels. and kick some honda butt down here.

here is a pic of what i'm hoping for but without the widebody. only a 1 inch widebody is aloud..

I have no idea about the color, I'm actually taking suggestion on the color.. i was thinking od keeping the dark grey int. so it still looks clean and even if it would get dirty it would hide it well but the ext. i still have no idea

any thoughts..
