Let me know when he's ready to sell  :D

I know he was thinking about it but with over $70,000.00 in it I am not sure that will ever happen.  He has been talking about changing it up to twin turbos and taking it up to 1100 HP...

$70,000 and he's only making 800hp?    

He needs to let me play with his cars. For that much he should be over 1000hp.

It's because I keep changing setups. 3 engines, 3 different super chargers, custom inter cooler system that uses the A/C to keep IAT2's down. 4 different sets of tires and rims. Also changed suspension a few times. I can never just leave it alone. I get bored, rip it apart and start new. It actually is closer to 1000HP now since I have a 150 shot of nitrous io it. The 800HP dyno was without the nitrous. Oh and I added a few new vinyl stickers, so that's gotta be good for another 50Hp at least.

Oh so you really have $40,000 wasted and $30,000 in it.  LOL

Damn!!!!!

That's why it's important to sit down and evaluate what you want and write it all down.    When I owned a performance shop I'd have to stop some clients and have a sit down to write out what they are looking for.  From there we'd make up a plan to accomplish the goal.   Wasting money searching for what you want is a overrated.  But I'm sure someone was happy to line their pockets with your money.
