What fun it was just to ride in the thing!!  He had it running at 19lb
boost, and was running consistant 14.2 and 14.3 ETs.  The car was not
prepped for racing whatsoever - street tires at street pressure, full
interior, etc.  I took some video of one run from the pass. seat... I
haven't even looked at it yet, but if it's cool then I'll convert it to
quicktime and hopefully be able to post it somewhere.  I'm praying that the
sound comes through like it should... that motor makes all kinds of cool
noises. :)

Yeah, thank goodness :P

Anyways, I had my car dynoed with stock cams last week, and it made 135hp
and 130ft/lbs at the wheels.  Can't remember the rpms as I don't have the
sheet at home with me, but a built 2L 16v with stock cams really is a
strong motor.  Huge powerband and smooooth delivery...
