Hoping to get this thing to the track sometime this spring ... I'd like to see consistant 12's with this thing. As far as tranny mods... all it has now is a ProTorque modded TC .... adding an external cooler hopefully next week, and IPT valve body at some point. I can launch the car @ 19 psi .. it is sick! It is the wife's car, so I gotta be kind to it ... I'm not allowed to blow it up
. It has a fully built 2.5L block w/ wiseco forged coated pistons, Calico racing bearings, and PAR connecting rods ... the heads are still completely stock. She wanted the car to go when she hit the gas .... so torque was the key with this build. I wanted to try and match the stall speed of the torque convertor with peak torque output of the engine ... I think I came pretty close. Here is a link to the original post:
