Great to hear. Hoping for some videos soon.

mb19701964 is an unknown quantity at this point
Congrats on your car! But to me it is just a matter of time before you blow it up. I think you need internals done on anything greater than 600 hp.

But seems like it is working for you so far.

The only Euro tuner into "explodamotors" seems to have that area covered. I think you can claim the most powerful in the world "without internals", time bomb spec

I've been hearing that myth for years, and yet we have over 2 dozen cars running the 700/750 kits (WELL over 600 wheel) with thousands of miles and without issue. Same with the GT2, which has seen more track miles at the hands of pros AND hacks and still has no issue.

If *I* was trying to get crazy sums of money for my builds (Ruf is the guiltiest party, but surely not the ONLY guilty party) telling people they "needed" costly internals to keep things together would sure be a great place to start.

You're 100% right! I still think there is a significant "Ruf tax", but I'll take back my last comment about them being the guiltiest party!!



Mm-mm! That crow sure does taste good!

Well, Jo, I'm not trying to criticize Switzer...I think you're picking the wrong target. Just trying to correct Toby's generalization about connecting rods and maximum torque.

Not needed. I know guys see my avitar and sig and think I worship the Temple of Alois...on the contrary...I worship at the Temple of "Which ever tuner gets you from A to B really really fast." lol...
