    damn dude, I like the older SHOs. My cousin had a 1995 5-speed. It was surprisingly quick. I love that Yamaha engine.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Mines a \'92. I pushed well over 500HP on my last dyno. However, today was a very bad day for her. She will be down and out for the next few months.

    You make over 500 wheel on that motor? What all do you have done? Dyno sheet? Not calling BS but even when I was a member of TCCOA with my Taurus I never remembered anyone putting out those kind of numbers on an older SHO.

    A lot has changed in the SHO world lately. 5 years ago, supercharged or turbocharged SHOs were rare as hell since we didnt have much of an aftermarket. We were all dreamers. Nowadays, FI SHOs are common since kits are now being made by smaller companies. The guy who built mine is pushing well over 650HP... or so thats what they say.

    I took it that Varsity meet once about 3 months ago. I got there late and had to park in the very back. A few ppl saw it. LizBiz got to be there for my embarrassing moment when I couldn't get it to turn over.
