It's a MP122. Has less than 1000 miles on it. I believe he already has a buyer for it but I'll check.

New pictures. :chug:

Thanks! The customer of the car only wanted around 800 - 900 to the ground but we're hoping for a streetable 1000/1000. :D

We could have gone with larger turbos but the customer wanted a range of power that he could actually use. He wanted them to spool up completely by 3500 RPM instead of 5500. :judge:

Haha, that's Will. Nah, we'll start on the wiring when the LSX block goes back to the engine builder. That way we can hide all the wiring and everything. When this build is finished no wiring will be visible. :thumb:

Congrats on becoming a moderator by the way. I noticed something was different. :chug:
