Are you going to be using a different head unit or the same V3SI?

where was it implied that the motor failed in any way?

afaik, the car was running fine when he dropped it off in Arizona a few weeks ago.

Very Nice, i am keen to follow this build thread. Congrats

J08M3 · 07-15-2011, 06:17 AM

This should be an interesting thread. You might need to do a custom wide body like MAC did to fit big enough tires on the rear.

Why would you even implement that such a thing happened ?

Congrats Drew ! Me and izzy are right behind you & what makes this even better is we can build our motors local & load up software Via flash Loader

The motor did not fail, what would make you assume that?

The Motor is in good shape and did you not see the vid of it running Mason's VT535 days before they started the build?

It's about time someone did this type of build with full disclosure. Everyone, including myself will be very interested on the actual parts used when it is all said and done. I'm also interested in seeing how the drive train and tranny hold up to this additional power. While you are at it you may as well tub out the rear for some serious meats out back!

See you soon!

Haha, thanks Larry!

congrats Drew! When you find out compression and other details please keep us all updated. I'm very interested to see the details on the motor build.

Thanks man, will do!

No changes in displacement, no sleeves I'll be using the same block, same kit, same blower. Thank you!

Haha! You're funny! His motor was in great shape, it put 30 car lengths on my car in the run that was made two weeks ago. And I'm laying down 510 wheel!!

Ha, some people!

Drew, to say that I'm envious is an understatement! Your car was a beast, now it's going to be from another world!! Congrats!!

CSMRX7 · 07-15-2011, 09:19 AM
