we have never lined them up to find out but I think his is faster. I think he is dyno tuned to like 235 hp or something around that so he definitely has me on power. The EM2 is heavier so I don't really know. We will have to take it to the strip to find out because I don't race on the streets.

I had it lower and I cut the tires with the rear fender. I need to roll them and modify my exhaust because it is to close to the ground.

The new Ridgeline

Don't know if I could tuck this one








Added HIDs this winter.

Engine is still not perfect. It pasted emissions this fall with no check engine lights but now it is throwing a P0171 (running lean). I don't know if it is just the O2 sensor wiring that isn't great or I might have a vacuum leak. I am leaning towards the vacuum leak because the engine recently started surging at idle. AND I am still burning oil after the rebuild which makes me think my timing is off. Correct me if I am wrong but the timing issue might have caused the lean code? Too bad the timing isn't adjustable at the distributor. I might need a tune in order to adjust the timing.
