+1 on Vakamon!
They did a great job on my sport clutch / lightweight flywheel install and steering rack swap.
They answered any questions that I had clearly and honestly.
Very competent people.

Alexis car (as built by Ryan/Davin and Tuned by Jarrad)
can be estimated @ ~500+ HP at the Crank (if you calculate a 18% drivetrain loss)
(425 / 82) * 100 = ~518 HP at the Crank... on 92OCT PUMP GAS!!!!
Congratulations, and while the numbers are just simple speculation (i.e.: not rooted in hard facts) I believe we have our 1st 500+ HP (at the crank) Suby in Hawaii (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Congrats, and thanks for the props Alexie. His car is sporting a Crawford Performance 2.7 stroker kit with stock heads, Crawford GT35R turbo kit, and APS FMIC. Jarred tuned it initially with Accessport, then retuned with a UTEC on top of the reflash. Jarred suggested that we use the UTEC in speed-density mode, as the MAF was maxing out the first tune. There should be a lot more power on the table, the numbers Alexie produced are about the limit of what he can make reliably on our 92-octane pump gas. PS, Davin did about 95% of the build on Alexies car.

So the 5% you did was the sexay portion? 
BTW I stopped by Vakamon with Ty in March but that was when you weren't there. Without you there, it was like they lost their left nut.

Actually, I haven't driven it enough yet to determine what the milage is like. Tomorrow I'm going on vacation for a month, so I guess I won't know for awhile...
