Btw, I keep seeing your M-Roadster in your sig and can't help but think I need one of those in my life. Got a build thread for it?
Thank you.

No build thread for it on this forum, it's always a work in progress and being improved.

I can bomb this thread though!


Before I took ownership, it shows the front lips and before the OEM 3pc wing.


AutoX school from when it was NA.



NA dyno, Max Psi SuperFlo Load Bearing pulls w/ catback, intake, headers, pulley: 220whp 213tq



Ripped apart as I begin the blower install


Heat exchanger mounted

More test fitting of blower and brackets


Taken as far as I can with my skills, off to the shop to be finished


Back from the shop, all together and running


Back to the same dyno, out of the box tune, running lean, maybe a bad MAF-runs a bit lean, still showed 367whp and 308ft lbs of torque


Modded VDO boost gauge to look OEM and mounted in place of clock


This summer, big project was the stereo

Added metal chrome trim to speaker pods and air vents after the audio upgrade



So that's mainly it in pics. I have a pretty long mod list I won't bore you with. But I will say that the big power is coming any day now. I have Vac blower cams, ARP 2000 head hardware, and a cutring headgasket designed to hold 20psi ready to go in. I am getting a re-tune, replacing the likely bad used MAF and should make 465whp on a Dynojet, or 415-430whp back on the SuperFlo.
