It was making funny noise's in that video I took, when they put it on the dyno the noise just got worse and worse so they took it off because it was sounding like crap, so its currently having a going over to find the problem and also freshen it up.

Looks great. What did it eventually get on on its final tune or is it yet to get tuned after putting the new box in?

It got in enough runs to give it a soft tune(330hp at the flywheel). Its set up not to stress the engine too much as it's still a second hand motor out of a car with unknown k's, so factory HP is all that's expected of it.

rev limits at 7900 :)

car is going back to RaceFX to get a swirl pot installed, leans out from corner 2 all the way to the sweeper, this is also causing it to overheat during that time. It Only happens when being pushed hard tho, as it didn't happen during the calender shoot :ph34r:

FYI its pulling 7000 revs in 5th at S/F line

goes nuts in a straight line and the turn in is amazing.
