Major port job on head, Crower stage three cams, custom JE pistons, Pauter machine billet rods, Ti retainers and Fererra + 1.0MM valves, a big turbo, air to liquid intercooler, and Electromotive Tech GT engine computer. 255RWHP from 100 Cubic inches. I had to get a double disc OS Giken clutch. The Centerforce unit went up in smoke as soon as the turbo spooled up. The block, head and covers are all that is left of the original 1.6 Liter 4A-GE engine.

It has new KYB struts and Falken DOT race tires. It stayed with the Z06 Corvette lap after lap. 37 MPG on the freeway. Miserable as a daily driver.

Yowza, not much original remaining! That is a nice rebuild and with the mid-engine layout she must be fun in the corners.
