one of our UK members Steve purchased the car from Bill at Woodhouse, it came over with around 1500 miles on the clock spent a little time here before Steve decided he needed more power.
Steve decided on NA power, rather than S/C or turbocharging. Not wanting to loose his car for to long, and to speed things up he brought a nearly new engine (off Partsrack I believe) and sent it to DC Peformance to be modded then a couple of months later put his car in a container and sent it Dan and his team to work his magic, the stock engine was swapped for the freshly worked engine along with quite a few other mods, here's some of them:
upgraded cooling system with Ali rad
custom fabricated air induction
crankcase vent system
upgraded power steering cooler
Bellanger headers, hi flow cats, 3" cat back
inconel exhaust shields
side sill vent system
AEM management

unitrax race diffs (1000 hp rated) with torque sensing unit
