    It feels great, love the torque and it's a lot of fun around town with the 3.73

    I'd say harder than m5x but not as hard as s5x, yet, I don't know what will happen when its tuned. Nope, m30 260/6. Cooling system is fine, those issues are a myth. I can see how people would have trouble bleeding the thing though, I had some tricky bubbles trapped back at the heater core.

    It puts down 200/212 right now, with absolutely zero tuning. My friends car with a 9.5:1 cr and 90mm crank put down 230/250 to the wheels running autotronic SM2. Mine is an 86mm crank an 10.5:1 cr, so we'll see what it does with the megasquirt. But I'm guessing it'll be right around what a bolt on s5x would do, mid 220's but with more torque

    Oh and here are a few short, lowish RPM clips. Some better stuff coming soon.

    Forgot to update this thread but the car is finally finished, except for the megasquirt. I actually finished it a couple weeks earlier but I had a caliper come off and blow a hole in one of my Azevs. Got that all taken care of, changed it up with 225/45s instead of the 215/40s, and here is the car as it sits today:

    Finally got the thing moving under its own power after many small issues. Here's a quick vid before loading it onto the trailer to take it to the exhaust shop. I couldn't really rev it because, even though it doesnt sound like it in the video, it is unbelievably loud. Didn't want to piss off my parents neighbors.



    The wheels are Azev A's and the motor is a euro bored b35 block with m90 pistons using the longer stroke of the b35, pretty heavily ported head, 290 cam, etc etc
