Car was a blast at 370hp. Super fun. Lasted only a short while though; could have been a fluke.
I'm excited to see what cutting 200lbs and having slightly less hp, but more torque down low does. No heat issues and no rinnging every last ounce of a motor. Just smooth, effortless, power. Ryan @ Singular has already proven it a record making formula

LFX is complete and running.
Will upload some new pictures next week.
Just need to finish the exhaust and dyno tune with E85 next week, and final body work and paint the following.
Then it's track time

Exhaust, alignment, and new windshield are all done. Dyno tomorrow.
Here's how it weighs out. No driver, half tank of fuel. Was hoping for a hundred pounds less or so, but still should be fun.

Car has come a long way in the last couple months.
Solid first shakedown in June, had some issues with the motor getting too hot. Redid some ducting and hope all is better now. Fine tuning the alignment as well.

2017 Ford Focus RS Stealth Grey. Wanted grigio telesto, but they couldn't do that as there was some pearl. This was MAACO's $499 paint special using urethane insead of the cheaper $299 enamel paint job. Should be a little more durable on track

It was a pulley/bearing/bolt kit that I bought from Shandelle @ V8R. Not sure if I'm 100% sold due to the low contact area on the water pump, but since re-doing my ducting water temp issues have been a thing of the past.
