Been a while since ive updated this thread, i was trying to focus on the coupe i bought. I reached a point where i realized the Coupe would never be what i wanted. It was much more of a full restoration then a simple build. The Coupe is sold, and im gonna focus on the UrS this summer. The engine is build to hold just north of 550Whp, but im only planning to hit mid 400s this summer. For next summer ill be looking to get closer to that 550whp mark.
