Well, update time!

Coilovers aren't clunking anymore...I still want to get the rears off and hit them up with the impact gun a lil just for good measures. I def do hear the shh shh sound of the coilovers working (I don't have a rear seat, figured why not keep it out until I am done with working on them). The car handles great, but I def think it will handle extremely better once it gets aligned and such. I plan on doing a full alignment and corner balancing at Euro Tire, and let them do a ride height adjustment so everything is good to go. Still need some other suspension components that I feel can effect the camber or alignment. Those will come in the upcoming month.

In other news:
Jerry at Deabolt and I had a great convo last week about the mods he was going to do the Al's former SZ49 turbo. It was basically going to be ported on the compressor and outlet area, fatboy turbine upgrade, 8CM Hotside, 3" inlet, and setup for EWG, basically kinda making it an SZ50. Well, we got to talking and some how the SZ55 came up....he was really more interested to see what the SZ55 with all these mods with METH would do. So we talked, and I was like you know what....lets do it! He actually said, that this will be the FIRST SZ55 in the United States with an 8CM Hotside...apparently no one else has ever done this on an SZ55 in the USA? I am very excited, and it should produce nice numbers....it should be finished with its mods this week, and I should actually get it sometime later this month. Other than that nothing new, just paying the credit cards, and planning out my build. Def should get interesting for the summer! I know I will be def going to Limerock this spring with Jake, Alex, Steve and anyone else...hopefully Seb and Al will come!

It depends what Dyno he's on.....but I'm betting he will be getting tuned @ XX. My estimate on their Dyno IF he decides to go aggresive would be 450WHP / 450WTQ .....possibly a bit higher.

Looks like you need to start thinking about a short block with some forged internals........
