you mean RWHP didn't mean to pick on you

Default FFHP

Hello,
It could be typed incorrectly. He might have meant FFHP as in Flintstones Feet Horse Power...Seeing as how I dont have an actuall engine but instead a hole in my floor.

well, at the end of the day, I just want to see something solid.
I am interested - just rermember we have had countless broken promises....

most recently, Area 51

Skepticism will be abound due to lack of follow thru....we were supposedly on schedule to get our s/c's for a total of 325-362 rwhp by Jan 2003.

Magically, company went under.

Show us the proof.
Show us everything and we will be more apt to take it seriously.
Take it from a very performance oriented person...hell,I went and bought an SC400 just for this project, so you can imagine how pissed I was when it fell thru.

I applaud and appreciate your efforts....if you can come thru, maybe I can take a trip to Kissimmee....Just came back from there....had some fun on business.

Thanks again

100 horses to the fly wheel would = something around 70 rwhp. That might not be something the racers are looking for but as a daily driver that would be great over the stock power. I would pay 4k for that bump in power. Someone needs to put a good kit together for us cheap bastards!

I just got back into town and will try to hook up with Ryan to see what he's got going on. I've SC'd a lot of V-8s before so I can see what he's doing with some level of competency and share my feelings once he has it installed.

He sounds like he knows what he's doing, and I hope this all pans out. There are several issues w/ SC'ing the Lexus, so I will address these issues and see how he plans to overcome them.

Plus, like he said, I'll be patient and see what he has to offer, and give an unbiased opinion of the end result. I wish him the best of luck and I hope I'm kept in the loop as the project progress'.

Keith

Keith and I spoke on the telephone yesterday, great conversation, except for my cell dropping him about 3-4 times. Glad Lexus is more reliable than Cells!! Keith and I will hook up soon. I will invite him over to see the kit for my car once it is ready. The SC kit for my personal car will be polished, and have some additional cosmetic additions to it.

You will get the pics. SOON...

Ryan
