Thumbs up Plan B: Thunder_STI (Project II) is now in Effect:

Howzit going fellas, Hope everyone is doing good.

Just passing by and giving updates for the ones who have followed my project since day 0 to current. For those of you who dont care, why are you reading this..jajaja

My car just hit 47k miles and its still running good.

Few records this car has accomplished:
Hawaii raceway park: PB: 12.97 @101mph All Stock

Ever since then:
Tuned by Gadiel Maximum power Tuning:
520awhp @ 28psi w/ C16 vp (Race Fuel)
435awhp @ 19psi on 93 pump Gas (Shell)

@ The Race Track:
numerous 10second passes @ 129-133mph
numerous 11 second passes @ 127-129mph
and much more....

long hard work, long hours, lots of money invested into the project, dedication, sacrifice, etc, etc...

I am now, here to say, it was a Hell of a ride.

We are now planning on going all out.

As plan B will start here in a few days.

more info, later...

Goals:

700awhp + 9 second slips

Stay Tuned:

Thanks Much

Jose

We are still debating in what route to go, Once I get the numbers and set-up, I will let you guys know.

Keep in mind, It will be a 9 second Street Legal Beast....so with that said, you know what route Im most likely going after...

Thanks, Bro !!!


We are still in the talks on whether I want to:
1. Go with a custom GP engine :banana:
2. Shortblock (Axis, Cosworth, gruppe S, etc, etc..)
3. Build My own engine: pistons, rods, valve train, heads, cams, etc, etc..

bottom Line:

Im still debating, the best way to go.

I would like to thank my sponsors:

- My Pocket.com
- MY Visa.net
- My ATM
- Cashimiro

New Sponsor:

- R.I.P.org ------> If my wife finds out how much i have invested..

GO JOSE!

For those newbies that don't know...Jose is probably one of the coolest guys out there and definitely coolest resident of PR that I know of. He is also a frickin awesome driver.

His first Auto-X he DNF'ed all 4 runs as he kept power-sliding through one of the slaloms not realizing that he was supposed to slalom through the cones. The very next event he won SM!!! Surprised the hell out of me because I thought he was primarily a drag racer.

Oh and he needs people like me to talk him up because he is so humble that he will rarely toot his own horn...well maybe not THAT HORN.
