Great numbers & always love low RPM TQ, gets the car going then HP takes over. Barry's at top of engine builders, great choice.

I want about the same engine, just can't afford it. Your entire build is fantastic, so be proud and have fun !

Thanks for documenting.

Is the differential cooler for racing? For street use why would it get so hot it needs a cooler?
