Nice wheel & tire fitment!

Is that a hater pipe "snaking" out behind the front tire?

Just finished getting my Chips Motorsports 12A Streetport installed and running. It fired right up in 2 seconds and idled perfectly.
Chips and his work/quality and just unbelievable.

Nice! Chips does nice work. How much power are you getting from that configuration?

Yes he certainly does. I dont feel worthy of an engine this nice haha.

Spent hours on my engine bay and all the details to try and make it a worthy home of a Chips engine.

The engine went to Chip already ported, with large intake and exhaust ports. He did a full rebuild, all new apex/side/corner seals/springs, bearings (also 3 window for stat gears), oil pump, gaskets etc. Also lapped and nitirded my irons due to wear.

I am running an RB Dell 48 and Steetport exhaust.

I haven't dynoed it, and am still breaking in the Chips engine. I would guess maybe 160 170 crank HP? Just based off of research and dyno plots of similar ported 12A's.

Should run a lot better than the previous build. It had lower compression and blowby due to non OEM corner seals and overall poorly clearanced side seals.

4th gear WOT on the highway is silly fun. The sound from the intake is pure awesome and it is faster than I ever need it to be.
