Did I mention they'll look cool as hell?

New manifold, a very custom setup. Price is fairly high but I'm not the guy to discuss how much it costs. I can say its prohibitive for most though as these types of setups from what I understand yield gains on big hp motors and not so big gains on lessesr hp motors while throttle response is improved for both.

The galleria area is nice, but traffic is a biotch! I'm up in the Woodlands, its hella nice now with the water way area by the mall. You'd love it, very Italian.

Solo: Yeah, to get a set of John Mil's its about 6k now but only if you spring 75k for the motor.
Lart: Born in Bakersfield, Ca then 10 years later moved to Scotland. I'll be going up to see my Grandmother after the race in Bakerfield.
HotJ: I'll let Chris chime in here about it, from what I understand he's done a few before and yes there will be alot of custom fab stuff like the intake plenum etc.
Mike: Yeah, that long...we had to talk about my exhaust first (or lack there of I should say)!

Look something like this? If so I'm amazed you got a set. I tried and was flat out told "Only if we build you a motor". Even then the price tag was $5000.

I'm telling you, Chris White's 944 Enhancement is waaaaay more than just a simple 3 liter assembly line. I can't say enough good things about how he's helped coach this project and lead me in the right direction with EVERYTHING. This is why I chose Chris as my builder, he gets into the project and wants it to blossom and be amazing.
Chris is the guy I'll be going back to over and over for all my 951 projects - he's just the best! Especially when I say, "hey Chris, what about this?" and he responds with a nonchalant, "yeah those are cool!"
This is how you know he is very, very excited! Especially about the LCD DASH unit that's going into the car. It will have all the cool warning lights hooked up to the LEDs at the top of the panel, so if anything starts to go wrong I'll know it. This way I can reserve the blank panel above the shifter for the "Start" button

Rolex's car can never be outdone...I may have some fancy shmancy race parts and some hard to get stuff, but Robs will always have that factory look. His car might be just a tad heavier than mine, but by NO MEANS will this ever outshine his. That car will be NUTS!
I haven't seen your 951, feel free to post a few pics so i can see it!

I need a photo of a small child overlooking Rob's engine bay going "OOOO SHINY!"
Gauge cluster looks good! What does it drive the lap times off of? Built in transponder? GPS?

Hot J: email them to me @ guns951@gmail.com
mike: I don't know, probably a GPS. It works well with the EMS. And every part of the engine will be black. I don't like bling...for others sure but for me, nope.
