Well, it turns out the seller of the K16s can't find them. Would have been perfect as he was only asking $300. They needed rebuilding, which was what I wanted. Crap!

If anyone knows where I can source some K16s in need of some love, I'd love to hear about it.

Skip White built 396 that's bored out to a 405 (or something like that). Spins to 6000 and puts out 540hp to a Tremec 6-speed. It's a fun car.

So, I had a chance today to put a couple hundred clicks on the PS2s...

They are so much quieter that the 615s/660s. They are also considerably less sticky, which, I have discovered, makes for some real fun tail wagging.

The compliance in the sidewall is also notably better - more comfy. This is making me wonder how a set of PS4s may do and whether or not there may be a set of them in my future... perhaps, as winters...

Does it do wheelies?

All Nova's should do wheelies...

My 996 Turbo photo-bombing my buddies new toy right before we went for a canyon shake down drive. Our Turbos are amazing, but this twin turbo is ***AMAZING***! Thought you guys might appreciate a few pictures.
