It's running extremely smooth & strong. It dynoed at 412 WHP on 18 psi and 95 octane, which equals about 500 CHP. But that was before the rebuild, and it feels stronger and smoother now...even on lower psi boost. I'd bet it as 450 whp now on 15 psi boost/94 octane. If you are familiar with the set up on this motor, you know that with a race chip, octane and more boost, the motor will make another 100 hp. Add a larger turbo and injectors and it'll make 650 hp any day...

I am buying a house and this is car #3. I've owned it for 6 years, and hate to sell it, especially now (after just getting it back from the shop), but must for financial reasons. As you can see, with the bevy of mods it has, the price is unbeatable. I just learned that the house I'm buying will be ready in September, so I need to sell it quick. If I had more time, I'd be selling it for several thousand $ more.

And if it's not obvious already, it is not currently smog legal (no cat, etc.), and is sold as an "off road use only" vechicle, so it will be the buyer's responsibility to have it smogged, if required.

To be added today (8/16)...New Nitto 275 60 15 Drag Radials (on 8" Weld rims). Currently has Nitto 275 50 15 DR's (shown in pic).

Yeah...I've had a lot of guys calling, saying they want to come by, but not one has yet to see it in person. I got an email from a guy in Iraq saying that he might fly out here, check it out, then have it shipped back to his house on the East Coast.

But it's still open to the 1st guy who puts the money down.
