Sooooo happy. So much more torque. Can't wait for my Daytona track day next weekend. She's all bubbled up safe for now...

Congrats! Any other details? Guessing you had a local shop do the actual build for you? Or did you have to send it out to Sharkwerks? Definitely post some video from the track if you normally take video when there.

Also, the bubble is so cool. Great protection for the car for sure.

I’m really keen to hear more. Have a 3.9 myself and to hear from someone who has gone 4.1 and owned the 3.9 would be cool.

My dream is to have my 3RS 3.8 upgraded to a SW/Evoms 4.1. Hoping someday it's my turn!

Sharkwerks does not sell parts or kit for this build. you ship car to them.
they have had cars shipped from AU and UK
well worth it.

Thanks, about 3 months. I'll post a more formal write up when I have a chance.

I suck at updates. Main difference going from 3.9 to 4.1 is the added torque! This past track weekend at Daytona hit 177 across the start/finish (and that was with a cup car wing). Last year when I was there with the 3.9 (and rs knock off wing) "only" hit 165. Also picked up 5 seconds in lap time!

5 seconds in lap-time is basically 100 years. Damn that's impressive!
