"But, nevertheless, Mr. Kuhn, there are many other nice women! Maybe you should spend less time under your car to get to know a nice woman"

Ha! (found a translation page)

Yes, Nicole I agree...after spending a week in Germany last October I'm convinced I should look for a nice European gal, no? Something about the value system still being mostly in-tact, unlike what has happened in this country in the last 20 years (i.e. toilet). Just my $0.02.

Actually, Nicole is correct...a project like this takes lots of time and you have to be dedicated.

That's what I was going to say, looking at the stock intake tubes. Very stealth.

Looks very good! Are you going to offer headers for sale?

Regarding the IC it my benefit from having air directed through it with some aero help, as it sits now I wonder if the air will take the easier route around it. On the 951 the air is led into a chamber before reaching the intercooler.

I'm kidding John - The car looks awesome. I didn't think I would like a color matched front spoiler, in this color it looks very good. Have you though about adding some ducting to the front of the IC, like a small funnel? After seeing Mark's IC and now yours, I'm starting to think more about an air-air for my track car. Just curious.

Keep up the good work, lets see some numbers!

Nope, this is about information sharing that's all. I'd love to make/sell a few sets of manifolds. I tell you this car is really quick now. Honestly, it drives like an old 60's vintage "big block" muscle car with a great interior and suspension.

SC fans can talk lag all day long, but this car delivers fantastic real world performance!

What are you saying, you thought I should look more like a freak?

Numbers...well let's wait and see there before speculation. I will say I think these 78/79 cams made a nice improvement...much harder pull out past 5,000.

Nice work John!

TT, TS, or CS, it's all about real world performance. The rest is really all BS.

Interesting, I run a Pro-M on my twin turbo 3000GT...maybe I should've kept at that tech-crossover post I made a few months ago...asking why some of the ricer fuel controls weren't being utilized with the forced induction cars...question answered, I guess!

The VR4 is for sale if anyone is interested....certainly not a piece of german engineering, but lots of performance and lots of toys- switchable suspension and aerodynamics, AWD, 4WS, electronic fuel and boost control, etc etc...
