I have a secret.

Once the car is done, and the 996TT is sorted, ANYONE and EVERYONE can take either or both of them for a ride. I'll scoot them down to the first Qualcomm autocross available and get them in and you can all drive them if you can get here. Just stay off the rev limiter and I don't care. Cars are for driving.

I just have to leave all the updates to ACG. I'll comment, but probably no updates on the progress.

I will give you this though. The build will easily blow through $100K before phase 1 is complete. And I called Weistec today and told them if they REALLY have the code workarounds for the MAP sensors to start planning for low compression JE Pistons, Pauter rods and the other goodies and we'll see when that 2.3L blower starts wheezing.

I better get a transmission cooler on order...

Order a big cooler for the transmission Peter.

And a spinner knob and wide white walls and curb feelers and LED washer nozzles and.... Throw the JC Whitney catalog at it and see what sticks.

Oh, and I have another build project just getting underway. I have an extra 24' box truck on a Ford F650 chassis with tuck under lift gate. I'm getting 3 pickup truck beds to weld together with a tube frame subchassis and removing the box and converting it to a 24' long Ford pickup. With an outdoor soundsystem built into the sides of the bed and a hot tub.

I'm not joking.

Hello I don't have a camera to do that orher tha crappy iphone and I don't have a decent stretch of straight deserted road near me to do that. I live in the middle of the cbd. If I ever get round to it on a roadtrip and can ne bothered to do it I could post if the speedo is readable. The fact that I have dropped everything to make a video for you does not mean it doesn't work, the conspiracy theories regarding the efficacy of the
supercharger is funny / getting boring. I am enthusiast but I dot jar video cameras don't own a vbox and don't go the track. What I do now is the car has the dyno numbers and feels simply awesome to drive.

Are you serious????

You post 17 times in 5 years and you call him secretive???

If you're so curious why dont you drop the $15k for the blower and find out for yourself instead of waiting to bust a nut on your screen for a useless post on Youtube

Weistec kit has to be the most complete supercharger kit I have seen. The quality of every component easily rivals the OEM Mercedes parts.
