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...

Ryan

I second that! Wow the dash looks amazing the custom keys are real nice, and I always wanted to do the same thing with the lights, what did you use for the little outter (highbeam) I'm guessing?
