The numbers came out to be 638hp @6200 and 653ft.lbs @4200 on a pretty modest dyno. I was happy because I accomplished my two goals:
1. Surpass 1 hp per c.i.
2. Flat torque curve (never dropped below 605ft.lbs)

It should be pretty fun when it's done!

Yea, the Jag has a special kit that reduces the weight by a couple hundred pounds and a lift in the front! Actually, it just doesn't have a motor or transmission! lol

Here is my other ride. More of a toy now that I got my Jag. But, as you can see, I''''m not afraid to use it.

Now, I have upgraded since the above photo taken in Hawaii. I''''m now sporting 37" tires (vice the 35''''s above).

Lol..............nice one thermo, although it gives me the chills lookin at it. My car tends to be clean inside n out and washed / cleaned / vacuumed etc probably around 3-4 times a week.

I''d love a crack at that machine off road, but you could clean it afterwards

Jim, cleaning it is easy. You break out a pressure washer and just keep hosing until the water runs clear. Unfortunately, after something like that, you are looking at about an hour with the pressure washer pulling about 100 pounds of mud out from the underside. But, if you play, you have to pay.
