Nice man, have you tracked it yet? Seems to me the radiator would get very little air. Sweet ride.

That shifter looks like a huge throw. How is it compared to the 8 stock shifter?

I have tracked it extensively with the stock intercooler. The radiator gets a lot of air because the car has several air ducts that are functional and redirect air perfectly. So no overheating issue so far.

The throw is longer than the 8 but no by much. I will be installing a short shifter in the months to come since I do track the car every 2 months or so and it helps a lot. But the shift **** I installed does wonders for the throws, doesnt make them shorter but it does make the shift a little bit cleaner.

took it to my tuner today to have it reflashed, got 355whp at 22psi, need to get a new blow off since apparently the stock one isnt holding the psi to well. It should be at 25psi so tomorrow ill take it back in with a new blow off to check it should get around 365whp maybe a bit more.

If I had the finances, I would probably own one of these right now.

Keep up the modding!
