Well I cant say it enough how happy i am with the Stealth this year. After a long winter with countless hours of work getting the car ready, and then having to wait until August to finally drive the car because my tranny took almost a year to be rebuilt.

Well in the past few months I still managed almost 10k miles on the car this year, setup just like it is at the track minus the slicks sometimes. Only thing that broke on me this year was the FAL fan i had, thing didnt even last a month. The rest of the car made it to the track 5 times for 20+ passes and loved every minute of it.

On this last time out I was able to cut 3 1.4 60's in a row, all still on the stock unbraced T-case and tranny. Also made a personal best of 127mph on the little snails, i was very impressed.

I am very excited for next year, and cant wait to see what we can make this car do once it can breathe up top.

So i wont hold you up any longer here is the video and some pics, ENJOY!

That was a slow 2-3, this one was way better, but i f'ed up the launch pretty bad.

This is from a few weeks ago, when i went 10's the first time.

Not sure exactly, just kinda go when it feels right, usually around 6700-6900 on the logs.

WOW. So I need to up my engine speed @ launch by about 1500 RPM. Good to know.

I continue to shake my head in utter amazement. I'd kill for a 1.4x 60'. Bravo, sir.

Care to share any details on how you intend to allow it to "breathe up top"?

Big turbo, that makes more power where it needs to, instead of choking the engine out. I havent completely made up my mind though yet.

So what are your EGT's running 23 psi on those things?

How much do you think the FMIC helps with small TD04s? I'm debating between SMIC and FMIC still.. I like the look of SMIC better and the engine cooling but everyone always talks about how much FMICs help with performance..

And do you happen to have any higher resolution pictures? I really like the one with the stands in the background.
