Engine (All engine mods below done professionally during rebuild by West Racing completed March 2006)
Currently running 14lb boost max, 94HP at the rear wheels. Complete rebuild costing more than $13,000. Needs intercooler then more boost!
The compression has been raised significantly, so it drives very well at low revs with lots of boost down low (quite different to a stock starion). It also handles very well with the upgraded suspension but still comfortable.
