1995.5 stroker project all but done
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/108103/red_baron_end_of_day_at_epl.jpg"></center><p>
Approx. 400 whp, 420 wtq
Once all the parts were accumulated it came together fast.
2.6l Eurospec stroker
EPL tuned
GT30R
Stromung turbo back
57# Bosch injectors
Dave Stone suspension
HRSB
Big Reds
...secret stuff (ask Keith)
As it came together there were minor issues as you would expect with projects like this but nothing major.
To Keith Tackett's (Springfield OH) credit the wheels hit the floor and we literally drove it of to get the corners weighted and wheels aligned. The same day off to Pittsburgh, PA for a state inspection. The following day Stratford CT for a tuning session with Tony at EPL
It was a thrill to listen to the engine come to life at EPL. At the end of the day the engine sound furious literally like a hurricane roaring.
The car handling is outrageous and the power of the stroker with the GT30R is so smooth across the band it is a different experience. Even in Red (the fastest color) it is so stealthy.<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/108103/dscn0621.jpg">http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/108103/dscn0621.jpg</a</li></ul>

Curious...are you from Pittsburgh?
I saw the Pgh reference in your post and saw PA plates in your pic poster. There are a handfull of us in the area, but other UrS car owners are few and far between!

Nice, goes to show just how strong the OEM coils are. Getting my.....
034/RS2 EM back from Jethot today! Let the build begin.
I'll e-mail you off line about the exhaust, you're running Stromung Gen 4 correct?

EPL chips..
...Tony dials in the files for the best use adjusted/performance. In my case the intended use is as a DD. I was not looking max HP but rather max streetable fun(read torque). When I roll on the gas the car just leaps around what ever is in front of me. Very close to the feeling of my bike.
