I'm not sure on that. What I do know is that it doesn't appear to have a scattershield and some early pictures from the build look like the fuel filter/regulator is on the firewall, which personally I would be extremely scared of...

Really? I know those are pretty strong, but it's pretty old too. I dunno how it would hold that much power.

Do they sell adapters for these?

I figured it was a R154, V16x or a custom T-56.

Epic car! Would be insane to have a go in.

From their site: • 13b series 4 engine and intake 899 rwhp @ 47psi - Stock intake and Throttle body, Stock fuel rails.

Yes, that is the second fastest stock drivetrain FC in the world IIRC, only one thats quicker is timemachines car and it's not by much at all.

Any FC with 1000hp is gonna be fast. Stock drive train? I'd have to see it to believe it!
