Yes, stock, and after a couple of years have had no problems. A couple of times I have hit my rev limiter and was worried something bad would happen with the belt/tensioner, but fortunately no problems. So far it is still running great but have not had a chance to run it at the local drag strip to compare to pre-SC. I am hoping the Covid situation and track closures will settle down before the AZ heat next summer.

Has anyone recently had an issue with the injectors leaking from the rails. Mine came with blue O rings, ESS sent thicker black o rings and problem solved. I would also like to thank big Jimbo as your post was helpful to read before I did my install. Car is definitely a different animal now.
