Engine Swap

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

WHY swap a 300hp turbo for a 300hp turbo??? am I missing something??
Seems a 400hp turbo would make more sense for all that work, but then
what do I know?? Not much. I imagine Randy knows what he is
doing.....Cought my eye because I have a 90 SP that could use a little
more ZIP on the hills...

Getting ready for News Years at the Sydney Bridge....
Regards,
Hank & Naty
90SP36..tucked away in Vegas
