Still working thru a few details to finalize the engine swap but I made it to the dyno today and it lived.

Pretty happy with the power. It made 475/435 with a very flat torque curve. Corey (tuner) is a more conservative tuner to make the car last rather than peak out. He wants me to add an exhaust crossover. He thinks I'll gain 20-30 ftlbs in the mid range by doing so. Otherwise he says the combo's great with nothing else needed.

You'll forget all about seats once your in your Cayman seat. Either the LWB's or not, you'll be more spoiled....

Steve, way kool to see this. I pretty much just wrapped up a 9 month redo with mine, update/project progress pending.....

On the 315's, i don't know what DZ did, but Dutch Boys (Paul) left em out, track ok, but rain and road not so sure. I'm going from a 275 to a 295 or 305 and may do the Speed Tech inner tubz.....And still may go the Speed Tech sub.Right now the car is pretty righteous cept my shock/spring balance issues i'm having, Dr Ron is on it.....

Looking forward to seeing your progress......Cheers for now

Quit typing and pick up a tool dude!



Looks good Steve! But I think it needs to be broken down even further.

Thanks for the comments on my cage, that was my first attempt at doing one and am pretty happy with the way it turned out. If there's anything I can help you out with, specific pics, measurements etc. just let me know. I'd be glad to help with what limited knowledge I have LOL

PS Marty sure seems to be upset about my seats
I'll most likely be taking you up on that offer. i've never done a cage either so it's going to be a steep learning curve but its a challenge I feel I need to take on.

Those are good looking seats for sure. If i didn't already have some Sparco's I may have jumped on the bandwagon

Funny how they are never done.....

I like how Dutchboys tied the fender to the cage but I may have to do some additions to keep it a little clean. Hard to say right now. Most likely it will have some cut up junk fenders on it at first and no inners because I'll probably run out of time
