Thumbs up jesse's show-winning bridgeport fc

san bernardino meet thread was getting too cluttered, so i'll post up here. you guys will see this thing in the courtyard at sevenstock this year.

basic info:

half-bridge s4 motor, t70 turbo, 50mm wastegate, 3" single exhaust, 3" intercooler and piping... 720/1600 injectors with kg rails, aeromotive regulator, -6 braided stuff everywhere, koyo with black magic fan, samco hoses. lots and lots of other goodies, but i'll let jesse give the heads up on that.

lots and lots of custom/hand built stuff by me, and everyone...ESPECIALLY jesse worked their asses off to get this thing ready in time.
just about every bolt we could find in the engine bay was replaced with stainless steel...very time consuming, but looks great!

if you haven't seen this yet:

i am proud of your car. always a pleasure to work on things that nice

and from the greedy standpoint, seeing my sticker on the car should be job security for me for the next while i have a feeling i won't be starving to death anymore

The car is very very clean.

Is this a show car or does it actually get raced?

Looks wonderful. Wish I had the money to do that... Just a poor college kid now.

Can't wait to see it at Sevenstock.

Very nice car man. You must live right down the street from me. I live in Loma Linda I bet that thing is a monster. What max power do you expect from the engine as it's set up now? You've got some pretty huge injectors Dave, you do FDs too, eh?

ZERO boost until we get it on the dyno, but it was running great until i leaned it out--which he just informed me was a little too lean now, since its got a bit of a stumble.

so whenever we get time to strap it on a dyno, or whenever i get a new wideband, we'll go to town on it. i wanna hook it up around 350-380 whp on 91 octane, ~400-420whp on 91+ meth injection, and maybe hit the 500whp mark on race gas. but i'm too busy to think that far into the future until after saturday.

mdpalmer, of course i do fd's!

richer is safer, got mine running down in the 9's after the whole rear iron fiasco, i aint breaking another of those bastards til it dies of old age.. with my lead foot im definitely going to need water/meth/alcohol injection since i just can't keep my hands off the boost controller and maxing out the LT8 map sensor. never planned on hitting 20+ psi with a hybrid though.
