This car has gone through a lot of though, changes, blood, sweat, and pain. But totally worth it. I'm sure the end results are quite fitting.
My goal were/are simple: All year round daily driver sleeper that's a highway beast and safe for the drivetrain with the occasional circuit race
Some of the parts may/may not make sense. So I'll clarify on the goals. I dont want to max out the engine. I want to go for quick spool rather than HP/Dyno queen. Yes I could have made more power and cheaper, but then the reliability wouldnt be there. On the 440whp setup, I've gone 36k miles with only 7% leakdown and a perfect compression test on stock internals. I wanted to do the same in the reliability department, but make sure that all the internals can withstand the abuse w/o having to worry something (like the trans) will break after hammering on it.
