He gave me a ride in that beast and all I can tell you is ! What a car! He's done a wonderful job on not just the engine but suspension as well. He lives in Jersey, so he probably won't be home until sometime tonight. I have a pic of his engine bay, but I took it with my PDA (not so hot camera) and my synch is at the office. I wouldn't be able to post it until tomorrow afternoon. If no one's done it by then, I'd be happy to oblige

Winslow (horsepowerfarm) took me out for a spin yesterday in it and all I have to say is that car is insane. On our way out he had the A/C running and was dialed in at 18lbs. of boost....when he noticed that...he casually says oh the boost is turned down. He turns off the A/C and on the way back he was running 22/23lbs. of boost....OMFG!!!!

One of the quickest cars I have ever flown (yes flown) in!

Winslow...I'll say it again, you have done one helluva job on that car!

Are you sure it was Lindsey Racing?

That's what he told us. Sounded really nice at idle, but not so great at full throttle.

That is what he told B and I and it looked like one as well.

The duct is a NACA duct that he did himself. The workmanship is incredible. He told me he did it mostly with 3M panel epoxy.

The scariest thing about that car is that eventually it will have a 3.0L 16V turbo motor under that naca duct.
The car is superb now and it'll get better.

Yeah, he said he's running it hard (like 22 PSI) so that he
-Pushes the limits
-Gets to build his 3.0L twin-cam turbo faster

The GT Racing bumper (after you've hacked the thing to actually fit your car) makes Turbo/S2 rear ends look SOOO much better. It makes the rear spoiler look twice as big and really pronounced. Also, after seeing the shortened GT Racing bumper, and looking over at a normal 944, the rear bumper looks goofy sticking out that far anyway.
