POWERED BY JDM :santa:
I was able to run constant 10.70s with a weather temp of over 102 degrees, and my Lightning weighting in at 5200 lbs. Damn Texas weather, I can't wait to run in the cooler weather.

Congratts on being one of the first to get the alluminum motor, I did see it too, and it looked sweet.

Someday, but for now I am still running my 3 plus year old JDM motor, and it is still purring like a tiger.

Congrats on that fine motor
I knew one was shipped to Texas, but didn't know to whom.

Now THAT is saying something. 3 years on a built motor is impressive.
