Wow that was the fastest build ever:D . Congrats on the car looks greeat and welocome to the site got any other build photos?

Looks nice man. Good job!:thumbsup:

Great looking Bird. Very cool to see a father and son build. (I waited too late to get started with my father)

What all did you have Butler Performance do? Were you satisfied with their products and customer support?

How do you like your TKO 600?

Congrats!:thumbsup: Have fun with her.

All the parts were purchased form Butler. The engine was assembled and dynoed by Wheeler Racing. Butler is a great company. Jim spent many hours on the phone with me discussing the build. Service and customer support is great.

Example:

I purchased a port matched victor intake originally, but had concerns after further discussions with Jim and Wheeler after it was installed. Asked him if he would swap it out for a RPM port matched and he said yes.

They know what their doing and support the customer.

Nice Bird. Any front view pics? Does not appear to have front bumper on. Or maybe modded? Thanks.
