thanks guys, its been ratty and in my ownership for 5 years or so now....so it`s time for a change.....but stealthy it will be, BHP im looking for the 250 to 350 mark....there will be potential for more, i want a street car that does 12 sec quarters....raceshack are helping me develop the engine and obviously richie with the turbo, they are very good friends of mine which is lucky :albino:

I recognised Turbo's place and his 912. Looks like he's doing a good job there. I like Turbo's :) EFI ? Megasquirt by any chance ?
