Wow! That car sounds MEAN! I can't wait to see what kind of numbers you have with it. What is your break-in procedure?

I have to say that Tim does amazing work. The engine bay was done by Tim with my input on what I wanted from this 3.0 build. He outdid himself in making everything work and look great. The other cars in the pictures might be worth more, but the driving experience in our little 4 bangers is much more fun. I'll be in California next week and looking forward to my wife and kids following me home to AZ.

Great job Tim and the folks at www.speedforceracing.com

Looks like the break in procedure is similar to mine. All my toys get hit from day one. I'm just glad it's only 9psi. We'll see if we hit 500whp on 91 fuel without boost over 16psi. My engine builder states that 18psi on 91 shouldn't be an issue. We'll see how things shake out.

Thanks Tim for taking the time to do things as I wanted. I was getting impatient until I saw what you did, and now knowing how much time goes into projects that come out as this one is.

Never trust a recording without a studio.

Congrats,

It is a thing of beauty. Can't wait to see it run with the boost turned up.

The exhaust does not sound like a Honda at all. Not even close. It has a deep tone to it and is not really too loud considering it is a 3" system without a cat,resonators,etc......In the middle of the video one of our customers pulled up and his car is what you are hearing.LOL

I CAN'T SEE THE VIDEO!!!

This is disastrous. George, I'm totally stoked that you're finally getting your baby back. By the pics, it looks like Tim did a fantastic job (as if we had any doubt in the first place ).

But yeah -- can you post that vid on youtube or something because I'm not able to access it!

I think that Honda sound is another car that drove near the camera. Either way, that's now what the SFR exhaust sounds like in person!
