Take a look at this, quite impressive for a NA budget build.

Is that with an Aus ECU, so 7200 rpm limit?
The case I know of 4.3 + 6-speed, he has a dedicated race car with a JDM ECU, so 7500 rpm limit, and hits that limit just before the kink.


Stock ECU...but that is due to change!

As for the CF hardtop, it is a reasonable price...if you think about it, Kikuchi was selling some pretty well made ones with thermoformed rear window for ~$1400-1700. You can sell your hardtop for $800-900...

I was eyeing the one that was recently sold but money tied up elsewhere otherwise I would have jumped.

Light year is running a 4.3 if that helps.
