You go get it Shuey, it is all you! And let us know when you have some updates, and can share some of that new LR Top Secret information.

No, I think it was on a bosch dyno ( done by the previous owner ).

Ok thanks John. I'll have to see if my mechanic has some older issues of those Magazines your car is featured in. It sounds very nice.

Richard, are you going to try out that new 5 inch exhaust system on your 2.8L that LR is working on? You probably can shoot cannonballs thru it!

Ha ha ha, Dave already lost some turbo parts thru the 4 inch exhaust.

For me, not yet. So much other stuff going on the car I can only afford so much.

Now, if somebody offered me some web/graphics work to help finance?

They're not really making a 5 inch exhaust, are they?

I think Dave wants to try it because there is still pressure in the 4 inch where the wastegate dump rejoins the exhaust. I thought the 4 inch was crazy big, but I have one on my car

Default 2.8L Update....

Richard, what is the status on this beast of yours? Also, do you have some eye candy to show us? It is Summer time and things should be moving along...

Cranked 'er over yesterdy, purred like a big cat. They still got some tweakin an tunin an checkin fo leaks ta do before sendin' me out with 'er fo some break-in miles.

Swapped brake bias for the 5/33 while in the air an accessible so still gotta bleed off some supa blue.

Purty sure it's gonna need a trip to the alignment rack to make sure all 4 wheels are pointed in the right direction before too many new motor miles are ticked off.
