I emailed them 2 weeks ago regarding the headers - US$4,200.00 -
I need a header set but I'm not happy paying that much - they weren't even gold plated
I seem to remember the engine disintegrated

They never ran it long enough to blow up. I will call them & ask what they are doing with the car.

I'm still curious if anyone ever found out specifically the issues regarding the problem(s) with this build. You mentioned that the project was abandoned when they could not sort out the engine management. Was the problem caused by the ECU not being able measure/handle the increased air volume of the new twin screw, thus could not provide the correct fuel strategies? Or am I way off the mark?

Please share what you are able. Thanks

I spoke with Buckhead a few months ago, they were vague but said the car was now running. I think someone else should call them & see if they get a better response as I am also interested.
