That sounds incredible. One question... if this is so performance oriented, why the tiptronic? I can't even fathom all the work that has gone into this. Awesome.

Oh I almost forgot. I looked around for the Parker quick disconnects about a month ago but couldn't find a source. Could you point me in the right direction to find these.

Looks great Robert (as usual)! Not sure what to say because I am breathless, truly.

Next step is a carbon 'tub' to bolt all this stuff to. We can do that for you..
