Twin turbo 32V Fires Up!

We fired up the beast last night after a couple serios wrench-a-thons. It's amazing that with completely new wiring, plumbing, computer and engine that it fired right up!

We are supposed to dyno on Tuesday and hit the track later in the week. I'll post up the results then.

Here's a little teaser video of the wicked sound out of the twin 4" aluminum down pipes out the stock location.

You have 2 things in common with him, you still pay insurance on a Lightning and you still hold a title to one (you havent driven in 2 years)

Eric,
You are a patient man. Glad to see the beast runs again and you are nearing the end of your project. I bought an 04 about a year ago and kept it a couple of months, decided not to do this all over again. Bought an M5 in january and a new GT500 three months ago. Bought a tuner, pulley, cold air, springs, shocks and exhaust. Can't decide if I want to do anymore than that.
Give me a call some time.
Good Luck, hope to see some low numbers!!!!!!!!!
Mike Meyers

Me and Vin surely do have a lot in commom. We both also love a great steak house!! But I'm dumb enough to have 2 L's that I pay insurance on! The silver 2000 should be back on the road soon too though just waiting for the motor back from AL P. at Boss330 racing.

I hope to see a lot of you guys I enjoyed hanging with at FFW years ago. If I can swing it I'd like to make JDM day.

We are going to try to get it dialed in for the Orlando race in 2 weeks. Going to run Heavy Street. 3500#'s any tire single power adder. Other than that run what you brung. It would be amazing if we even make the 32 car field though as the bump will more than likely be high 7's. It will be fun to try regardless.

Mike I may be running in Bradenton it would be great if you could come by. You always apleasure to hang out with. It's been too long. I'll let you know.

Eric
