Thanks for the nice review Matt!

Your car actually made very impressive power for that small turbo. I never see 18G's make over 280-285whp on 91 Octane, but yours made 300whp right off the bat. Those heads and cams must be working

I can't wait till we get the tranny and a real turbo in there to take advantage of that nice engine!

Thanks

I know I want the trany and turbo is so bad!! I just need to save some money so I can do it all at one time. I think with the setup this car will have it will make well into the 500whp mark.

And I will be seeing you guys again on Wednesday LOL

When those cams and heads start to breathe with a big turbo and race gas this motor is going to be insane. Lucky man.

Is this the first big AHQ build?

This motor will be a great showpiece for an AHQ build..with this level of exotic cams and heads, combined with a suitable turbo and race gas, this should produce big numbers.

I'm looking forward to the next step and seeing what Ed can do with it.

It would be extra exciting if he ran it over a 1/4 in a the future. when it's dialed in.

Either way it's a really cool build.

We did a couple little touch-ups on the tune the other day and the car is feeling better than ever! I can't wait to see a big turbo on this beast

It just took a couple hours of trouble shooting to figure out there was an issue with the cams... That was a fun night . It's been running well since that issue was resolved.
