a 7.0-liter FE427 big-block V8 engine with an estimated 520+hp
featuring Edelbrock aluminum heads, Borla stacked fuel injection,
Haltech fuel management, an aluminum water pump, dual electric fans
and a Bosch Extreme Pro fuel pump. This car is also equipped with

calipers up front and 4-piston calipers in back. The rear end is
Ford 8.8 with 3.08 ratio gears and limited-slip, with a 6-point
roll cage. A full composite body makes this a very light car with
premium fittings, aluminum panels and braided hoses throughout.
