I've already done all the tuning I can do. Everything under the hood is new, refurbished, or performance modified. I've almost got a new everything, including a copper head gasket, ported and polished head, 3-angle valve grind, lightened flywheel, turbo, 5-speed (converted from auto) tranny, and block, K&N intake, 2.5" exhaust, RRFPR, etc.
In fact, I'm still breaking in the new motor. It's got about 800 miles on it right now. I've not dynoed it yet, but from past experience with other hot rods, I think a guess of 230+ horespower is in the ballpark.
The power is very efficient and the turbo spools up so fast it reminds me of a wild horse trying to break free. The thing just wants to race.
