I'm gaining the extra 60-80hp by simply getting rid of the air cleaners!

I'm adding taller stacks, with large screens that have little to no restriction, and I've been told it's good for another 60-80 hp.

For street running, I'm leaving the air cleaners on, because you'd be surprised by how much crap gets sucked up from under the car. it ends up all over the top the engine and transaxle.

I'll be sealing off the rear decklid with foam and running either individual screens, or using the already missing side windows as scoops (with screens) when I hit the track for track days.

The engine I seem to have straightened out, after dealing with a lying cheat of a seller, who sold me the car saying the engine was fresh, and never had any issues EVER, only to find the opposite was true. Not a true word was spoken out of that guy's mouth.

Now though, Snow White is running well and reliable, and next year will probably see a rebuild/refresh of the engine, and upgrade of electronics.

The car itself is awesome. It's a total hoot to drive!
