Superb work, Codith. Very well done, as expected. I originally wanted to do this with my car, but managed to get good enough results without IC (my goal was a durable 300 HP, high 13 sec car with improved handling). It's nice to see a Riv taken to the next level. Yours, ewolfe's, and a handful of other cars really do the RP discussion board justice. I would love to see this car in action on the street or at the track.

Thanks AA! Once I get the KR issues figured out, I'll be continuing to tune, push harder, and tune some more. Then I'll get videos and whatnot. Although I'm pretty terrified to take it on account of the transmission, It'll probably make a few 1/4 mi passes at Byron this year and go home once I've either gotten a time I'm happy with or not.

beltwrap bar all done and pretty
G/H body beltwrap spacers made by yours truly. much better than $11.00 a piece for something less ideal fitting I'll say
great belt wrapping

What do you estimate the HP and torque of Turtle to now be at?

Charlie I'm really not sure. Without being finished tuning and still figuring out the kr problem, I think it changes from day to day lol. Once tuning is done, I'd like to see around 375whp w/o spraying
quick vid while I started it up to make sure it was ok
