Yes, I'd be interested in seeing the engine as well as the interior as well when you get the chance.

Well on road tracks I was getting maybe 4-5 but now I've gone from a 2.72 to a 2.41 so hopefully I'll se a nice increase! With Race gas going over 10.00 a gallon I'm hoping for the best!

You told us to ask if we wanted any more details - I think you covered it all!

Nice car, so, you got those pics of the engine and interior?

Ya I took the pics of the dash and interior above the other day but haven't got any pics of the engine compartment. I'll try taking some next time I have the car out. Had it out yesterday for a trip an hour away, sure distracts other drivers on the highway! I get the most waves, thumbs up and shouts out the windows from the tuner drivers.
