That run was with the stock motor. Since then, the head gasket did finally give out and we rebuilt the motor with aftermarket parts. When we took the motor apart, it was in surprisingly good condition. I got married a while back and have not had the car out to the track in a long time (never...

Buy the HP kit and get someone local to install it. It's really not too bad of an install. If you sent the car to NM to get installed/tuned, you would probably want to have the tune checked out when you got home anyway.
The kit is only $8495...
You are correct. I have been told that the car looks like it is a little lower in the front than stock. The parts appear stock. The car does have over 130K on it though, so maybe it sags a little. Of course when I put 18/19s on it it looks lower than the stock wheels.

You can see my car on the front page. I ran the GT35R before upgrading. It is a great turbo. I've got to run for now, but I'll give you more feedback later.

Alright, here is the best I can do for now. This video was taken with a still camera. No zoom, just video. Someone should be getting me a video from a real video camera. I'll post it when I get it.

I went to the track this weekend and got some new times with the HP kit.
My best ET was 10.39 and my best trap speed was 140.6 mph. Here are the slips.
