    The engine is a 9.3:1 306. Box stock TW heads, Cobra intake and E-cam. I have no dyno numbers or track times as of yet - I'm still in the tuning process and the fact that there is a foot of snow and it's -20C outside doesn't help the cause. One thing I can tell you is that the turbo is spooled in by 3000rpm, and when this happens its like someone kicks the back of my seat! I have 4.10's out back which makes it spin into fourth gear (BFG street tires). You definately want less gear. Overall I'm very pleased and am hoping once tuned to be making 500 rwhp.
