Your worst nightmare...
I am sure you get things figured out on the first attempt.
The mere fact that the car runs is an accomplishment, yet alone that its my daily driver.
I have smoked so many cars in it I lost count. Just because I decide not to post my progress and street battles doesnt mean much. I rather the sleeper status.
Too bad you are in Australia. Would have loved to line it up and show you how really deranged it sounds now.

Without doubt, your cars are fast!
Would be interesting how many seconds they need from 200-300 KM/H, or in a whole mile event. Any races planned, e.g. Texas Mile ?
Good Luck!

Is there anyone out there that has a 1000hp speed driven kit that can PM me ? Im wanting to get one and making plans on sending my car to them, i have had enough problems with this thing just trying ti keep the wheels from bending, to the point where i didn't drive it and listed a mint SL65 cause i couldn't deal with the wheel shake. So i just don't want to get this kit if theres going to be any bugs or kinks in the kit that will bug me, might just cut my loss's and sell it now with the top mounted IC;s and MHP tune.

the Engine in itself remains completely stock (Heads, internals, valve springs,valves, cameshafts) ?
beside the built trans, is there anything else to strenghten among the driveline elements ?

We offer upgraded engine internals for customers looking to go even farther with the build, but it is not necessary for the Stage 3 kit. For the drive-train, we have not found any other components needed to be upgraded other than the transmission, but adding a limited slip diff is a very good idea with this amount of power.

I am glad you guys are making progress, on the other hand I have been trying to reach Marcin for about 3 weeks, no response, I have left him VM, Text's etc.
At this point I am ready to throw in the towel and put this car back to stock, If he doesnt want to deal with me or what ever it might be I would appreciate if he would just let me know. I deserve at least that. Sorry to sound like a little Biatch.

A courtesy call is always good business sense...just saying. Even to tell Jody you are busy and will call him back...

Thanks Jon!
No Worries, Speedriven is a top notch shop as we all know. The problem is Marcin is very busy, he did call me and I missed his call, But we did chat thru text and we are back on track. He will give me ETA today for Manifolds. Turbos are ready to be shipped. I will keep you guys posted.
