last year i was at 388rwhp at 12.4 @121mph... last month i ran 11.6 @125mph. right now i have no idea what hp im at havent been to the dyno here in over 9 months because its been closed cause the owner was killed in an accident. since then i have gotten my 90mm fast lsx intake, new cam, new TB, which should give me another 85 hp. hopefully whenever my new engine gets done being installed i can take it to the track and another dyno

Thats the only way they come I believe, my was out of a 4x4 nissan pathfinder. It fits oin perfectly and is a little shorter than the 2wd one which is perfect for tucking the tire a bit.
