Tom F. has it with the ex-Tilo car and a number of street 928s, very good place for it!

Last I heard, both engines (the SC stroker and the ITB stroker) would be repaired for this year.

Tom F has it and Big Bird....last I talked to him both were getting a complete refresh this winter and both should be running this year!! So Tom has some sweet 928's...... 6.5L stroker with over 550whp....6.1L supercharged stroker with at least that much HP...then he's got a Murf kit and a DR twinscrew and that highly optioned GT too....

I think it had some problems with heads cracking or something like that when Tom got it?
