Awesome mods and great color choice. I cant tell if you went with V1 or V2 on the ARK Grip from your pics, either way car looks great. How does your exhaust setup sound so far? I had the ARK Grip V2 only with no other mods and it sounded great and got much louder over time. Would love to hear a sound clip after you get the HFCs burned in!

Thanks! I'll include a rear pic showing the exhaust. Bought it recently directly from ARK's website so I'm assuming it's a V2. I've heard the V1 had fitment issues and I have it + swift springs with no scraping or issues whatsoever.

I also love the sound and mine seems to be getting slowly loader as it breaks in. Really looking forward to see how it sounds with the FI resonated HFC. I'm hoping it will be significantly louder WOT but that the resonators will keep the drone down (reason I bought the ARK was for good sound quality with minimal drone). I'll try to get a nice quality audio file posted once installed

Finally got the car finished & on a dyno. DynoDynamics dyno numbers are: 281.7HP - 249TQ. Scaled to a DynoJet (shown in the second photo) this comes out to be: 315.5HP - 273.6TQ


According to my tuner the dyno dynamics dyno reads differently than the typical dyno's people use. The next picture is Dynojet scaled horsepower along with my pre&post A/F ratio:


The throttle response and traction control maps we worked out make the car feel amazing. As you may see the A/F ratio on the stock fuel map with my mods was terrible so I'm extremely glad I got that corrected. Although the numbers weren't as high as I expected, I most defiantly felt the increase in torque & power

Future plans: I plan to start participating in local AutoX events along with getting the car to the drag strip. I will take this time to decide what the future holds. Two 370's @ the shop I frequent have Boosted performance mid mount single turbos going in on stock internals. Assuming all goes well for them & I don't fall in love with autoX I am highly considering going with the B.P. single turbo as well
